This (IMHO) is not desirable.
Jeremy, in case of unix extensions, shouldn't we pass the symlink as is and not resolve it? We may have a parameter that when set permit link creations and also returns link as is instead of resolving them. I think a proper unix-like file system should be able to return links.
