detecting symbolic links

Code: Select all

$ ln -s "." test
$ newlisp
> (directory "test")
true
So I can make a file symlinks, which will cycle the file tree iterators, or will go through mounted filesystems which is not always attended.

But in most other cases following symlinks is very useful because it is a regular Unix convention.

Can we have an option for (directory?) which will trigger symlink detection?

But not sure if you seek that ;-)
