Are you implying that if a user removes write permissions from a file,
then emacs's delete-file won't delete it? But it will. `-f' should
only suppress prompting and handling nonexistent files.
I guess that delete-file will issue the same system calls as rm. But
for delete-file you don't need to specify path, or make emacs search for
a command in "exec-path".
Thanks!
