You could probably write a perl or python script (call it "safe_rm")
that traps the input parameters and does a fancy mv, echoing the
fully qualified file name into either ~/.trash (if run by an
unprivileged user, or /trash if by root.
Sadly, this will only save files that you delete from the CLI. To
be universal, such a trash feature would have to be implemented
either in the OS (a highly unlikely prospect) or within the libc
ulink() function. (Also highly unlikely, but much more portable
than changing every OS that libc runs on.)
