Comment (by axeld):

 Emptying the trash is supposed to delete the files. If you don't want
 that, just keep the files in there. Unless the file system supports an
 undelete natively (ie. some sort of snapshot feature, and that it always
 tries to write to new space, like ZFS and copycats), the best you can do
 otherwise is either (optionally) annoy the user with a requester, or have
 the system automatically manage the trash, ie. start removing older files
 from there when the space gets tight).

 Of course, something like that would also work with a secondary hidden
 trash. Not sure if I that is a good idea, even though it would resemble
 the auto-manage feature.

 When the trash is removed, the files are really gone, so Alt-Z can't help
 you there ATM.
