Indeed I think it would bother you more if you enabled it globally.  It
may seem better to bind a key to include `-R' in the ls switches, if you
find adding it manually painful.

Perhaps you can write your own function to toggle the existence of `-R'
in `dired-ls-switches', and if it don't work immediately, try
`revert-buffer'.
