Enhancement request: Have recentf let you optionally include directories
that you've visited with Dired.  (Currently it seems that the gatekeeper
in the code is basically `buffer-file-name'.)

FWIW I use the following, suggested long ago by Kevin Rodgers
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2004-01/msg00525.html):

(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
	  (lambda () (when recentf-mode
		       (recentf-add-file default-directory))))

Good idea. Thx.

Governing that with a user option might be a good idea.
That is, do that systematically, whenever the option
says so, rather than having users opt in by adding such
a hook function.
