minor UI quirk

Hi there,

I'm very new to bzr and I'm experimenting with it for some local/small 
projects before considering the switch from svn.

I'm using bzr 1.11 on both Windows and Linux.

I attempted to delete a versioned directory, and guessed the command 
would be "bzr delete" (which was wrong).  Then I tried "bzr remove" 
which worked, but the status message was "deleted images/icons" (see below).

    C:\Development\papercut-roi\trunk\images>bzr delete icons
    bzr: ERROR: unknown command "delete"

    C:\Development\papercut-roi\trunk\images>bzr remove icons
    deleted images/icons

Scanning the list of commands I also found "bzr deleted" which shows 
deleted entries in the working tree.

And running "bzr status" gives (note the "removed"):

    C:\Development\papercut-roi\trunk\images>bzr st
    removed:
      images/icons/


It seems there's a bit of inconsistency there.  :)

Is there a historical reason for this?  Or could/should this 
inconsistency be cleaned up?  I'm happy to submit a patch if there's 
some consensus.

Regards,
Matt
