Right, but wdired and occur-edit are two different things.
Editing a dired buffer in wdired does not have any other side effect
(at least not until you "commit" those changes), so its behavior is
still pretty close to toggle-read-only.  Occur-edit is somewhat
reminiscent of wdired, but does not match the behavior of
toggle-read-only quite as closely.
