sorry about that.  i really wasn't sure what else to call it.  i'm
happy to pick a better name if it avoids confusion.  :)

package == 'logical set of deletions that happen together'

as in, when you delete a node, you also delete the associated
comments, associated revisions, etc.  they happen as a logical unit.

the API keeps the logical units together, and presents the logical
units to the hooks so that outside modules may have a look.
