What metaphor has a piece of paper in two places simultaneously? 

In real life, I take an object from one location (a folder), and place
it in another (a trash basket). It cannot exist in both places at once. 

Until I explicitly empty that trash basket I should be able to get that
object back out of the trash.

But for now, I'll adapt to the software (which is not right) and just
wait for a configuration option post 1.0 :)
