Subject: [bug#72867] when should local-file and current-source-directory not follow symlinks?
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2024 07:01:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <TOTHbuZY2D8kbEufD-xK2Gfwm277iOpbXgTLLaG8_SqglJR5FP_H4mPv7huc8iTj9cn6LCGED2AS92L_nsMtzDUUWH7srYQaGCLVL43FizY=@lendvai.name> (raw)

pardon my ignorance, but can you give me a (plausible) example when someone wants to load some files relative to a source file, and also wants to be conscious of symlinks, and chose not to follow them? 

let alone making that the default anywhere around such operations?
