I confess that I'm rather surprised by this decision. It appears to
be inconsistent with another decision on make-symbolic-link that you
took some months ago.
Alas, I don't remember that issue at all.
The question is, are they really inconsistent?
It seems to me that the target of a symlink should either be
interpreted as a string by both functions, or it should be
interpreted as a filename by both functions.
I am not sure whether to agree.
What is the concrete issue as regards make-symbolic-link? What is the
case in which there's a question about what is best for it to do?
