Re: wdired-change-to-wdired-mode needs a key binding in dired-mode

Rather than "fix" each derived mode one by one, how 'bout doing

  (define-key dired-mode-map "\C-x\C-q"
    '(menu-item nil wdired-change-to-wdired-mode
      :filter (lambda (x) (if (eq major-mode 'dired-mode) x))))

Or maybe more simply create a new function dired-toggle-read-only which
either calls wdired-change-to-wdired-mode or toggle-read-only depending on
whether wdired makes sense or not (by testing (eq major-mode 'dired-mode) or
whatever else).
