There is some such stuff.  But there is certainly a lot more
that is not.  I stand by my statement, which intentionally said
that we "_generally_" do not document stuff that is not exposed
by default.

We certainly do not _generally document_ stuff in the manual
that is not exposed by default.

But if you want to document all, or even some, of the keys
and commands provided by dired-x.el and dired-aux.el, even
without loading them along with dired.el, that's fine by me.
