+
+Deletes this Page object from the tree and places it in the trash. To physically remove
+pages from the tree and the database you should use the purge method.
+
+This function overloads the delete inherited from WebGUI::Persistent::Tree. This is done 
+because 'delete' is the right name for the functionality within WebGUI and because the 
+delete of WG::P::Tree is not very useful: it only works on one page and causes pages with 
+'zombie' parents.
