Someone offers to take you to a place, you accept, he takes
you to that place; you're entitled to think the place exists,
aren't you?

If `dired-goto-file' takes you to a file, you're led into
thinking this file exists, which is wrong.

In fact, perhaps dired could highlight non-existing files
on the fly.
