The code's there, and talk is cheap... but I'd rather like to see a
solution that would make it easy for users to add arbitrary tagging
operations to key bindings, instead of a fixed binding for "deleted".

That way perhaps adding a default 'd' for "deleted" wouldn't feel so
special either.

I wouldn't use it either, and I don't use "deleted" tag in the first
place. And even if I used it, I'd still like to keep the distinction
between "deleted after reading" and "deleted unread", which this patch
loses by removing the "unread" tag.
