Would it make sense to provide such a command for everyone? If
dired-async-each is not even intended to be customizable, I cannot
think of too many other options to use this variable in a meaningful
way. Anyway, in real life I expect that according to Murphy's Law
whatever customization a user chooses for this variable, next time
he or she needs to run dired-do-async-shell-command, the customized
value will be the wrong one.
