I think `C-x C-q' is a good key binding, but it has one problem.
For users who have a habit typing `C-x C-q' repeatedly to switch
between editable and read-only states, typing `C-x C-q' in wdired mode
will put the dired buffer into the confusing state: the mode line still
says "Editable Dired", but the buffer is read-only now.  Users who don't
notice %%-characters in the mode line might have a hard time finding
out what happened.
