Comment (by ryan):

 Attached is a quick exploration of making trashed posts editable and
 viewable. This required changing the 'trash' post status object from
 internal to protected.

 * Edit, Quick Edit, and view now show in the posts list table.
 * In the editor, Move to Trash is hidden for trashed posts.
 * In the editor, trashed posts now show Trash for status.
 * In the editor, trashed posts can be changed to Pending Review or Draft
 status.
 * In the editor, the Publish button never shows for trashed posts. Update
 always shows instead. Basically, trashed posts can move to pending or
 draft but not straight to published.
 * A partial attempt was made to add preview=true to view links for trashed
 posts.
 * WP_Posts_List_Table::inline_edit() needs Trash awareness added to the
 status selector.
 * Pages totally untouched.
