New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storch...@gmail.com>: Now three different flag are used to denote the same behavior. followlinks is used in os.(f)walk, symlinks is used in shutil functions (with opposite meaning), and follow_symlinks is just added to many os functions. Unfortunately, symlinks, like followlinks, is used prior to 3.3. But follow_symlinks appeared only in 3.3 (besides, it's too long a name for this frequently used parameter) and it can be unified with one of the earlier spelling. Replacing follow_symlinks to followlinks is simpler than to symlinks.
