Deleting from Mac on GUI?

On the Mac, if you delete a file from the GUI, it actually gets moved to a .Trashes folder in your home directory. However, if you rm a file from the terminal application (command line), it is gone for good immediately like in other unix implementations.

I would like to see Apple make this functionality more uniform in that files are moved to the trash, kind of like the Tru64 capabilities. You know what? I think I would leave rm as it is, but add a delete utility. What do you tihink?

GUI 
API(3m17n) The m17n Library GUI API(3m17n) NAME
GUI_API - API provided by libm17n-gui.so. Modules Frame A frame is an object corresponding to the graphic device. Font Font object. Fontset A fontset is an object that maps a character to fonts. Face A face is an object to control appearance of M-text. Drawing Drawing M-texts on a window. Input Method (GUI) Input method support on window systems. Detailed Description API provided by libm17n-gui.so. GUI support for a window system. This section defines the m17n GUI API concerning M-text drawing and inputting under a window system. All the definitions here are independent of window systems. An actual library file, however, can depend on a specific window system. For instance, the library file m17n-X.so is an example of implementation of the m17n GUI API for the X Window System. Actually the GUI API is mainly for toolkit libraries or to implement XOM, not for direct use from application programs.
