It depends what you mean with "remove the row from the model".  If that
means unlinking the row from the model's data structures, then there's
not a nice way anymore to retrieve an iterator to access that row.  And
if _get_iter() is still supposed to be working, all other model methods
should also work: you are much better off not removing the row in that
case :)

I think row-deleted does specifiy you the subject, one of its arguments
is the path ...
