No, after my knowledge, there is no such tool. But there is an easy
workaround: You can alias 'rm' do to something like 
'move the file to /tmp'. You can then retrieve a file by simply copying it
back. Also, after each reboot, /tmp is being cleared, so you won't
eat up all your disk space.

Hope that helps,
(and wasn't to smart alecky)
