No and no.  What the above says is that if the function by that name
is defined, it will be used.  We have 2 platforms which define such a
function: MS-Windows and macOS.  On other platforms, we use our own
Lisp code in move-file-to-trash.  We don't _expect_ users to define
such a function.  And there's no claim here that no other function can
be called system-SOMETHING.

No.
