The iskeyword option is locally set by netrw for its display buffers.  
Its a bug if that iskeyword setting affects other buffers; however, it 
is not a bug for the netrw buffers themselves.  Without that setting, 
one would not be able to edit or change directory to a file/directory 
name containing/starting-with a ".".
