Re: [Small change] Issue with dired-do-async-shell-command and certain shells

[Lycomedes 1814]

Indeed, "& wait" works with fish.  For the function to work with multiple files selected, "&" must be changed to "& ".

 1. Use fish as your system shell.
 2. Use dired-do-async-shell-command on any file, and type e.g. mpv.
  
 Fish interprets "&wait" as part of the file name, so mpv returns: "[file] Cannot open file '027.wav&wait':
 No such file or directory."
  
 Solution:
  
 In the function dired-shell-stuff-it, replace "&wait" with "& ". Then fish interprets the command
 correctly.

But the "wait" part is there for a reason, so simply removing it is
hardly TRT.

What if we use " & wait" instead, i.e. add a space between & and
"wait"? does the command then work correctly with fish?
