        The function C{pre_deleted_fn} is added to a list of functions
        to be called just before deletion of a node. The callback
        C{pre_delete_fn} is called with the C{node_id} that is about to be
        deleted and should return a deferred that returns a list of deferreds
        that are to be fired after deletion. The backend collects the lists
        from all these callbacks before actually deleting the node in question.
        After deletion all collected deferreds are fired to do post-processing.

        The idea is that you want to be able to collect data from the
        node before deleting it, for example to get a list of subscribers
        that have to be notified after the node has been deleted. To do this,
        C{pre_delete_fn} fetches the subscriber list and passes this
