One gotcha with that scheme (which is why I don't recommend it to folks
usually) is that it's not a true safety net - you can lose information
in some cases.  e.g. with
  % cd blah
  % rm something
  % cd ../marklar
  % rm something

The second rm something has just wiped out your first something in the
trash-can directory.  If you're running under the assumption that your
modified 'rm' command is a safety net, you could be in for a rude
suprise.
