Well, I guess lost+found has the same problem but it is not a problem at
all to pick some other (longer) name.

Unfortunately, we need some file system-specific code to access per-file
secure deletion and per-file trash bit attributes.  These attributes are
supported only by some file systems and in different ways.  We need no
file system-specific code to support trash-bin deletion for whole file
systems.
