At the moment, dired doesn't display them as pointing to somewhere.
I thought that it would be nice to know that some directory is actually a
junction.
It seemed to me that getting this information wasn't very different from

Maybe I should have started by saying that.
OTOH, the user might also want to be able to fully handle them from dired.
