Coding to safely handle automatically following of symlinks on a recursive directory scan is sufficiently annoying that I'd suggest: (a) most people haven't done it (properly); and (b) adding an extra flag when it is to be done is a good reminder that the code is going to need to be more complex.
Good points. They further reinforce the decision to make not following symlinks the default. Thanks, --Beman
