I don't agree with Stefan.
Many times I do completion on something like "*use*" just to find the
group of files I want see and than use something like "bsw2-use*subgroup"
as the actual argument to `dired'.
Dired is NOT just for Full directories. It works nicely on files
template (I'm sure you know and use it this way too).
May be completion of directory names ONLY should be an option, but
I disagree strongly that it be the default completion.
