When one renames a file using dired which is already in an emacs
buffer one would want the file name and buffer name to be changed.
The way I know to do this (kill the buffer and reread the file) is
tedious.  I would think this would be the normal way things are done
from a user standpoint but I can see why they are done otherswise.
Pass this on if you think it merits it.  I'm not sure myself.  The
version of emacs used is 18.52 on 1260 Celerity.
