This is a good solution, but, might I suggest that if I set my system
for no-undelete, that I mean no-undelete, not, I think I want no
undelete, but I'm really too stupid to be trusted to make that
decision, so give me 20 minutes to change my mind !-)

That is, setting no undelete turns the delete into a real hard
delete wherever it appears. I've already told myth once that I don't
want undelete, I shouldn't have to go to a special menu to tell it I
really, really mean it this time.
