Re: Dired enhancements for possible inclusion

    I've mentioned this before, in the context also of grep (where I do the same
    thing). The idea is to apply the `mouse-face' highlight to the entire line,
    not just to the file name.

That should be easy -- just a matter of deciding what part of the text
to put the text properties on.

I have little opinion about which way is better.  If most people here
prefer the whole-line way, let's change it.
