As I understand it, the patch does not fix two things that were mentioned
negatively by Sven:
  - that hidden files appear at the end, rather than at the beginning,
  - that "a~" precedes "a".

Also, in the patch, the variable 'read_dot' is confusing. Should it not
be called 'read_nondot'?

Should I commit your patch nevertheless?
