We load dired.el when you use `C-x d' (or `C-x 4 d' etc.).
We do not load the other two when you do that.  I think we
should.  We should consider them an integral part of Dired,
including for documentation purposes.  I see no reason not
to.

I don't even see any reason for the division into 3 files
at this point.  But it doesn't bother me that there are 3.
I just think they should be treated together, as if one.
