mxcl/homebrew — Issue #8699: brew linkapps doesn't symlink app to /Applications

Issuing `brew linkapps` after `brew install macvim` simply doesn't work. Despite the output below, MacVim.app doesn't show up in my /Applications folder:

~ $ brew linkapps
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/7.3-63/MacVim.app

I'm just a regular user, so I can't tell if it was right to post about this here, or if it should instead be directed to the formula author. I know I can manually symlink the app, but this would become quite a chore after a few updates.
