   Are there any situations where this could give trouble?

Well, the proposed value of `dired-move-to-filename-regexp' (like the
old one) is going to loose for file names that start with exactly two
spaces, then a letter, then a colon.  A file named "  c:myfile" in a
subdirectory inserted with `i' is going to be mistaken for a file
named "myfile" on drive c: of an MS Windows system.  That _already_ is
the case with the current regexp.  I would guess the risk of actually
encountering such file names is small enough not to worry about.

Sincerely,

Luc.
