+# Safer rm.
+#
+# For files within $HOME it moves files to $TRASH_PATH instead of deleting.
+# For files outside $HOME or non-POSIX options (other than -f -i -R -r),
+# fallback to `rm`.
+#
+# The idea is to `alias rm='saferm'`
+#
+# Use something like
+# 0 * * * * find $HOME/.trash/ -prune -ctime +1 | xargs command rm -rf
+# in your user crontab to really delete files after 48 hours.
