Since the prefix argument has always been useless it is ok to change its meaning, and make it consistent with all other dired commands.I disagree and object to such a change.
I try to be objective and look at this regardless of my wish. Then, i cannot see the rationale about what makes special marking by extension. Why should '* .' prompt for a marker-char (the only guy doing so) but similar ones as '* @', '* /', or even '% m' should not? The code is talking us, let's hear what is saying. It should be obvious.I would be proud on you if you could reconsider your opinion in case several people here suggest you the opposite. It would be wise.
