Sorry, I have no idea what you mean.

I don't know whether any doc or prompts would need to be modified. I doubt it
(except for some doc describing `delete-by-moving-to-trash'). It is not uncommon
on Windows to have prompts refer to "delete" and "deletion" even though the
actual behavior is to send a file to the Recycle Bin.
All this is about is letting users define what "delete" means. There are two
kinds of deletion in this model: (1) send to Recycle Bin, (2) delete
permanently. The option `delete-by-moving-to-trash' binds one key to #1 and the
other key to #2. Both kinds of deletion are always available by key.
