No worries, I've checked in support for recognising symlinks (and other, more unusual file types). However, I very strongly do not want to resolve symlinks from that method.

1. It wastes time for apps which have no need to
2. As your comment above notes, there's no good way to communicate any errors that occur from resolving the symlink

It's better to let the client deal with all that.

I'm not using this code at present, but you never when it might come in handy, so happy to include such functionality in the repo!
