I sure as hell don't want rm to move files to the trash. If I rm 
something, I want it *gone*.

I do want a *different* command for moving files to the trash. But 
absolutely not rm.

Of course, if anyone wants to alias rm in their own shell, they're 
welcome to. That's what the alias command is for.
