    Yes... unlink() becomes `mv /path/filename /deleted/path/filename`
    Simple. For idiot users, you can just make such an alias for those
    who insist in doing `rm *` instead of `rm \*` after they had used
    a wild-card as a file-name... It happens:

    `ls *.* >files`
    ...is typoed to:
    `ls *.>* files`

    If somebody then recreates the same file and deletes it again -- tough.
