Think about it from user experience perspective. If you ask to a non technical user what a directory named Documents mean, they will not have problem to explain. Then try to ask what a directory named bin in their user home mean.
bin is what some elsewhere call Trash.

At least more experienced users have tab-completion along paths in our shells ;-) Daniel
