1. NOTE trash as block device

in nushell there is option for rm command to always use 'trash' - AFAIK the current approach is via a service (trashd).

An interesting experiment would be to designate a block device as 'trash' - may be possible to remove reliance on a service

may be an opportunity for ublk driver to shine - instead of /dev/null piping we need a driver for streaming a file to /dev/trash
