Maybe you can come up with some advanced technique to do that but here I
would have to define a variable to save the current (user provided)
`split-window-preferred-function' and call the function I save there
within the body of the function provided by dired.  Hence an extra
variable would be needed anyway and I suppose it's easier to define that
in window.el rather than in all packages that want to change the window
to split (IIRC Calendar was one of these).
