Subject: when should local-file and current-source-directory not follow
 symlinks?
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2024 07:01:37 +0000

pardon my ignorance, but can you give me a (plausible) example when someone wants to load some files relative to a source file, and also wants to be conscious of symlinks, and chose not to follow them? 

let alone making that the default anywhere around such operations?
