Also, I now see how making files-tests.el responsible for
accommodating ls-lisp.el might be backwards. If skipping the tests is
still a good idea, I'll try to learn if there's a more conventional
way to do it, e.g. having files-tests.el look for more general signs
that the insert-directory implementation has been overridden, or
maybe having ls-lisp.el be responsible for asking that that test be
skipped.
