Great - thanks.  Mike, can you maybe give it a try?

Can we say that the behavior in dired is optional, too, and maybe just
list the options (and commands) at the end?

"which has at least one of the text PROPERTIES" may be better (I also
added "text" so that the docstring at least once tells that this is only
about text props).

The rest of the patch looks good to me, but I didn't test.
