Somewhere in Info "38 Dired, the Directory Editor", it should mention
the proprietary secret of how it manages to put
total used in directory 116 available 1025920
into the buffer, whereas everybody else outside of dired only can get
total 116
with all the ls flags they can find a-blazing.
Indeed, all dired uses is ls --dired -alo -- /mnt/bla/.
so mention that the bonus information is not something one can get
with plain ls, and must use df...

Emacs does not have a habit of (and even less a commitment to) telling
how it works internally. There are the source code and the mainling-lists
for that.
So I see no need to document that dired uses `df'.
