Thanks and here is my reaction :) I'm that technical writer who compiled
the original version.

I see an ambiguity in the text, as currently written. The ambiguity applies
in cases a multilevel directory is trashed. Let us say that the directory
foo was trashed; it contains the subdirectory bar.

In $trash/directorysizes there will be an entry for foo. But what about an
entry for foo/bar? The problem is that "trashing a directory" is not
exactly defined. I guess there will only be an entry for foo; can you
confirm that?

Also, the term "directory size" is used but not defined. Is "the sum of
sizes of all files in the directory, including files in any subdirectories"
a correct definition?

After you confirm, and if you don't mind, I'll make a revised release
candidate. I'd like to fix a couple of old glitches as well (like a "note
the dot" endnote where the dot no longer exists". I'll make sure to have a
diff against the released version too.
