Might be independently useful, but do bear in mind that delete-by-moving-to-trash is already in-trunk (in customize group auto-save). Lennart might want it on by default, but that's a separate issue. At minimum, if emacs is going to support trashcans, it should support the windows recycle bin on windows, the macosx-style trashcan on macosx, and the freedesktop.org style trashcan used by GNOME/KDE/XFCE and others, so that people who do turn on delete-by-moving-to-trash get their files moved somewhere platform-appropriate and unsurprising.
