Yes, most likely.

No problem.

Is that a question for me?  If so, a predicate where,
in what context?

As I mentioned, the current uses of the regexp, in
Dired+ as in vanilla Dired, are just to pass to
`directory-files' as the MATCH argument.

There are also Dired+ and Dired functions that accept
a predicate as argument.  `diredp-get-files'
`diredp-get-subdirs', and `diredp-files-within', for
example.

What is it that you'd like to do/suggest?  Or are you
asking something about the predicate of this thread?
