On one hand, though I suppose "First, this function recursively follows..." means "This function, first of all, recursively follows...", my instinct is that it is the start of an enumeration, so I expect a "Second, it ...". On the other hand, you've explained that this: If the file FILENAME is a symbolic link, the `file-symlink-p' function returns the (non-recursive) link target as a string. talks about the 'file (a.k.a. "basename") part of the file name', and this First, this function recursively follows symbolic links at all levels of parent directories. talks about the 'leading directories part'. Well, I don't find that clear. J
