Please add a hook for each of these basic operations.  It is not unusual
to want to be able to carry out some action associated with
(successfully) renaming or deleting a file.  The hooks would be run at
the end of the operation, and only upon success.

One use case: Bookmark+ autofile bookmarks have the same name as their
files.  (There can be multiple bookmarks with the same name,
corresponding to files with the same name in different directories.)
With a hook it would be trivial to automatically rename or delete the
associated bookmark.

Adding hooks for these two functions would automatically take care of
derivative functions, such as `dired-rename-file' and `dired-do-rename'.
