    Pathname resolution is a hell of a fundamental thing and kludges
    like that are too ugly to be acceptable. If you can't make that clean
    and have to resort to stuffing "special cases" (read: barfbag of ioctl
    magnitude) into the areas that might be unspecified by POSIX, don't do it
    at all.

    I don't like the amount of handwaving from Hans, but *that* is far
    worse. Vetoed.
