I think 'bzr rm' should delete the file, and 'bzr remove' should only
remove it from source control. I don't really like to always type "bzr
rm foo; rm foo".

If you don't like the names, I supposed it could be "bzr delete" to both
delete the file, and remove it from bzr control. I don't really care, I
just want that command.

And if we have that command, it would make sense to tack on "bzr delete
--all-ignored".
