I changed the option so its value can also be a var
whose value is such a regexp.

(defcustom dired-omit-lines-regexp nil
  "Regexp matching lines to be omitted by `dired-omit-mode'.
The value can also be a variable whose value is such a regexp.
The value can also be nil, which means do no line matching.

See command `dired-omit-mode' (\\[dired-omit-mode]).

Some predefined regexp variables for Dired, which you can use as the
option value:

* `dired-re-inode-size'
* `dired-re-mark'
* `dired-re-maybe-mark'
* `dired-re-dir'
* `dired-re-sym'
* `dired-re-exe'
* `dired-re-perms'
* `dired-re-dot'
* `dired-re-no-dot'"
  :type `(choice
