There are several packages which will rename the file as a hidden
file.

You will find them in the comp.unix.sources.

The are wrappers for the system rm.

It is possible to implement this type of thing at the FS level,
but doing so would require a "purge" facility, and probably an
"auto-purge" mechanism for auto-recovery of disk space (LRU
based).
