I've just committed a change to do this.  Now, we have to whitelist the
commands that should use trashing.  So far, this includes interactive
calls to `delete-file' and `delete-directory', `speedbar-item-delete',
and `dired-do-flagged-delete' and `dired-do-delete'.

One problem: it would be nice to have a simple interactive way to
inhibit trashing in `dired-do-delete', just like `C-u M-x delete-file'
inhibits trashing.  However, currently the prefix argument is used by
`dired-do-delete' to specify deleting the next N files.
