And also `append-to-file', `write-file', `write-region', `load-file',
`recode-file-name', `make-directory', `delete-directory', `copy-directory'
and dozens of other commands that read a file or directory name.

I think we should now stop the madness of hunting for commands to make
FFAP aware.

With the patches I sent recently to emacs-devel it is possible to type
M-n in any file-reading prompt to pull the filename at point to the
minibuffer.  And later we could also add a dedicated key like e.g. `M-.'
to do the same.
