Because of the functionality of Dired (which allows visiting several
directories (and subdirectories)) in a single buffer, the code basically
"has to" handle that case, indeed (tho I'd be surprised if there aren't
improvements to be made in that regard).

[ The ";; Note ..." comment seems to be misplaced. ]
I wonder if it's better to add a user-config variable or a new argument
to `dired-internal-noselect`?
E.g. I suspect that diredc wants/needs this feature, but it's not
diredc's job to set user options, so for diredc it would probably make
more sense to pass that as an argument.
WDYT?
