I agree that it's probably not a good idea. Windows users should be aware of 
symlink limitation on the platform to begin with, IMHO.

Besides, keeping the detection behaviour in light of this defect would be 
adding unnecessary complexity to the code. Currently, the `src` argument 
(=".\\test") is simply given to a Windows function to see if it is a directory, 
from the currently working directory.

To make it aware of its path relativity, in the context of the target, is much 
harder than just changing the documentation. ;-)
