Hi!
So you are worried about breaking semantics of varlinks.
OOk, consider following:
a) Link is processed as varlink if and only if it beggins with ///. [normally, you have no reason to prepend ///, so it should be safe]
or
b) Link is processed as varlink if and only if it begins with /proc/varlink/. [this is completely clean in case proc is mounted on /proc]
In both cases, leading part is completely trimmed, so '/proc/varlink/.' is really refference to current directory.
[Yes, and make /proc/varlink non-existent directory]
What do you think, unix purists?
