Interesting ... I don't even have "dired-quit", q meanwhile is
`quit-window', which isn't dired specific ... certainly it
doesn't help you "descend", it buries the buffer!
Maybe you look for `dired-up-directory'?
(Here, it depends how you visualize the file system hierarchy,
I think ./ is _downmost_, like the basic element [1], but some
people think it it is the top node in a tree-like
data structure.)

`C-x k' `kill-buffer' ... so the menu has its own functions, now?
kill-this-buffer:
This command can be reliably invoked only from the menu bar,
otherwise it could decide to silently do nothing.
"it could decide"? ??? Okay?

remember it was a whole different culture in the 90s...
well, evidently ;)
