I wonder if it makes sense to have the locate output look more like
the find-dired output?  Then the buffer could be in dired mode
normally.  (One could call file-attributes on each filename returned
by locate and construct "ls -l" like output from that.)

Isn't there a new feature of hiding parts of the "ls -l" output for
dired?  That could then be conveniently used to display less than the
filenames.
