Damn, you would think "ln -s ${TARGET} ${NEWFILE}" would be easily remembered as
"link to target via new file", but no, I keep forgetting :( .
[Perhaps because the first (wrong) mnemonic I usually think of is "link target
to new file", which is backwards, because you're linking the new file to the
target. Maybe I've been confusing myself that way ;) .]
