..I'm afraid you may be biting off more than you can chew. Adding
logical behavior to all the coreutils.. ..just sounds like a huge task
to me, with minimal benefits.

Chet Ramey's comments* on bug-bash are still pertinent - when worried
about logical vs. physical filename tab-completion in the shell, it is
easier to use the existing shell feature of 'set -o physical' to
temporarily force the shell to physical during the calculation of the
filenames to tab-complete, than it is to teach every utility the
difference between logical and physical.
Thanks for the warning. You're right, it's not that big a deal.
..it sounds invasive enough that you would need to assign copyright to
FSF if you ever expected it to be incorporated..
That's not a problem, of course.
Thanks,
Kartik
