As you may see Emacs expects users to define function
`system-move-file-to-trash' and based on that, is there notion that
package named "system.el" is reserved for users on specific computer?
Is prefix `system-' maybe reserved from Emacs for every specific
system (computer)?
That is by chance exactly what I do, and I would favorite that approach.
