Id given back in delete event
Can I make a feature request? I would be great if the delete events coming back from `/list_folder(/continue)` include the id of the thing deleted. Seems a bit odd that they dont alredy.

thanks! It seems to be that list_folder likely depends on metadata call, which I think is the real culprit (of not giving back the objID on deleted files).
My delete methods now do the hard thing, namely on delete of a file in a given path, list all files in that path that are not deleted, and remove any files from our DB that are NOT listed. That way our DB stays in sync on what is actually happening. Bad news, too many API calls, takes too long for what should be really simple. But it solves the immediate problem (hope I don't hit the rate limiting....)
