That symbolic links don't show up special in the *Completions* buffer
is a shame
$ mkdir real; ln -s . oo
$ emacs
C-x d TAB TAB
oo/ real/

Do you want something like `ls -F` would display (oo/@)? I think that would
be difficult to implement, since the completion text would not be a valid file
name. But there is an alternative; see

It would not be hard to put a text property on the actual file name
so that Emacs would not consider the @ to be part of it.
