I too use it. And I use `x' to delete flagged files. So what? It's not about how
you or I delete files. It's about the different behavior between * and D.

There is definitely a difference, even for you, between * and D marks. Commands
such as B, C, and M have no effect on D marks (flags), but they do affect *
marks.

* and D have different behavior and they should definitely have different faces
with different default colors.
