`trash-d` tries to mimic `rm`'s semantics as much as possible. It 
also unifies all the different `trash-*` commands that 
`trash-cli` provides into a single one with flags. One of my 
goals with `trash-d` was to make a simpler and smaller 
alternative to `trash-cli`.

The only advantage that `trash-cli` has that I know of (aside 
from maturity at this point) is that it handles `.Trash/` 
directories on separate drives/partitions while `trash-d` always 
moves to the one in the user's home. Both approaches are 
spec-compliant, so I opted for the simpler one.
