Removes the contents of the directory  specified and then 
removes the directory itself. I think that's the proper way to put it :)

$ rm --help
Usage: rm [OPTION]... FILE... 
Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).

Would be nice though if it says that `rm' does the same thing to 
directories too. I still remember using `rmdir' on an empty directory 
about 2 years ago when I started using GNU/Linux.
