A near drop-in replacement for `rm` that uses the Freedesktop 
trash bin. Started because an acquaintance `rm -rf`'d his music 
folder and I thought there had to be a better way.


It's pretty simple and only uses the D stdlib. Been working on 
it in my spare time for a bit over a week and I figure it's 
good enough to show people.


I started this project in Bash originally but switched to D 
since I thought it would be a good way to learn some more (also 
Bash is scary). Ended up being a great choice!


Pretty new to D so feedback welcome!


Welcome!

Very nice!

Agreed, I wouldn't touch bash scripting with a 100-foot pole if I could
help it.  D is much better for this sort of thing. ;-)

One thing I would have liked to see in the README, and had to 
go digging through the source code for, is a list of supported 
command-line options. You might consider copy+pasting the 
output of `trash --help` into the README, to give readers a 
quick overview of its capabilities.


Thanks for the suggestion, I've updated the README with the flags 
and a "usage" section. Doing that actually made me realize 
another issue with flag precedence, so thanks for helping me find 
that too :)


While I was in there I found another couple bugs (never ends does 
it?) that I quickly fixed, so I'm going to tag a new release.
