This looks like a kludge. Will any occurrences of ‘R’ also be
discarded in values for options such as ‘--hide’, ‘-I’|‘--ignore’, and
any new options introduced later that take an arbitrary user-supplied
string?

Also, will a ‘--recursive’ affect ‘dired-insert-subdir’ in the same
way that removing ‘R’ is designed to prevent?
