Don't redefine standard commands
Authored by: hayne on Mar 01, '08 01:56:38PM

I agree with the other commenters above who have said that it is a very bad idea to name this as 'rm' (thus effectively replacing the standard 'rm' command).
If you want different behaviour from what 'rm' usually does, then you should use a different command. Naming this command 'trash' (as someone else suggested) seems like a good idea.
