No no... not my fault: this does only work when starting from a buffer
whose `default-directory' is a parent of the listed directories.  Else I
get (in master emacs -Q) a buffer looking like

 /home/micha/.config:
  drwxr-xr-x 24 micha micha 4096 Nov 22 14:27 /home/micha/Treasure
  drwxr-xr-x  4 micha micha 4096 Mai  7 17:38 /home/micha/bin

and hitting i gives me the error "dired-insert-subdir-validate:
/home/micha/Treasure/: Not in this directory tree".


Michael.
