But it seems to extend the functionality, right?

I don't know, but I don't think Emacs can currently:

 - restore trashed files to their original locations
 - empty the trash
 - view trash summary information

The only command I can find here is `move-file-to-trash'.

So why not add that stuff directly to Emacs?  It seems to me that it
would be useful.  Say we use the prefix `trash' to get: `trash-empty',
`trash-view-summary', `trash-restore' or something along those lines.
