The bummer about this is that you can't 'mv' across partitions.

You can work around the problem, like writing a script that copies the
file to the trash bin, then deletes the original, but that takes twice as
long and is of a kludgey nature.

Another option is to have your 'rm' alias 'mv' to ~/.trash; this gets
around the partition problem (and in fact is what NEXTSTEP does).
