The problem with 'dired' is that we have to make any amendments at the
time the buffer is reverted.  It's already too late when switching to
the buffer afterwards.

The only thing we can do at the time of switching to a buffer is to go
to the buffer's point (which should work when the buffer was displayed
only in one window before).
