Hi guys,

I want to have a method of `pathlib.Path` that would send a file to the recycle bin. (i.e. soft delete.)

What do you think about adding this?

I see there's a PyPI package `Send2Trash` that does this, but it would be nice if this was in the standard library.

I think the corresponding low-level function to the os module would be a good start (the hard part is probably to write the cross-platform code, anyway). Regards Antoine.
