       | Those _need_ to be dash-style options. Because if someone runs a
       | `rmt *` in a directory and there 's a trash_flush file inside, it
       | will NOT do what one expects and will be destructive.
       | 
       | This is why options are traditionally prefixed with dashes. (Yeah
       | sure, you have the same problem if you have a file that starts
       | with dash, I already hear someone point out.)
       | 
       | Since you suggest to alias rm to rmt, your application needs to
       | behave like rm and have a similar UI.

       | I even had to disable rm for non-privileged users on my systems
       | just to get used to use trash-cli.
