Mmmm..hasn't this discussion on symbolic links gone on just a bit too
long. I suggest someone who is disatisfied with the description
of them send in a PR, as for their representation in ls listings
then that is in line with UNIX systems in general.
Their is no reason why people cannot write a wrapper script to
order the arguments the way they like !
I agree it is unfortunate that symlinks got made an option to "ln"
since they bear about as much relationship to hard links as a donkey
does to a cigarrette. But that's UNIX for you :)
