Default is it safe to dim a receptacle?

Or, a CPAP machine? Don't want to plug one of those into a
dimmer?

I don't know the answer to this, but I suspect CFL bulbs
don't dim properly. Just filament bulbs. Imagine all the
dimmers which will be unemployed when we're 100% CFL. Do
they plan on extending unemployment to lamp dimmers? Maybe
they can be retrained. Or shipped to India, and taught how
to answer phones.

That's fine, what you don't want to do, is wire a receptacle
to a dimmer, in
a location that someone might plug in a vacuum
