... for me and I do think some/several other users, too, 'delete' is
a feature not a bug. May be just for 'power users' :-), but nevertheless.

If I want to just move something, I'll do just that, when I remove some-
thing, it's final :-), and I don't want to empty any recycler/dust bin/
trash etc. Hell, even MS-Windows allows you to 'shift-delete' items, as
does OPENSTEP (Alt-r). So I want to at least keep that option, please.
