For a symlink it doesn’t matter, AIUI.

Yes, we do conflate Singularity and Squashfs, but I think there’s no
other “container tool” that uses Squashfs anyway.

We could rename it to “singularity”, but it turns out Singularity 3.x
has its own image format unimaginatively called SIF, so perhaps we’re
better off with the status quo.

Thoughts?  Ricardo?

Thanks,
