Don't forget the fundamental difference about trash and undelete: stuff
in the trash is persistent and will exist until the user specifically
empties the trash. Files deleted from the filesystem could vanish at any
time. You can't treat them the same or the user will be surprised when
deleted files really vanish for good.
