134	find-files traverses symlinks	Jim Ursetto		"find-files traverses symlinks.  This behavior isn't specifically documented so I would like to know if it is correct (and I will document) or incorrect.


{{{
~/tmp$ ls -lR foo
total 8
lrwxr-xr-x  1 jim  jim  1 Nov 28 20:45 bar@ -> .
-rw-r--r--  1 jim  jim  0 Nov 28 20:39 baz

~/tmp$ csi4 -R posix -e '(find-files ""foo"" identity (lambda (x xs) (print x))
         #f 2)'
foo/bar
foo/bar/bar
foo/bar/bar/bar
foo/bar/bar/baz
foo/bar/baz
foo/baz
}}}

If I set a LIMIT procedure to check for symlink it will not traverse it.


{{{
~/tmp$ csi4 -R posix -e '(find-files ""foo"" identity (lambda (x xs) (print x))
         #f (lambda (x) (not (symbolic-link? x))))'
foo/bar
foo/baz
}}}

If I use directory? as limit procedure the symlink traversal is still done because directory? reads through the link, so it prints out a large yet attractive triangle.

Actually I would also like to know if this behavior is correct for directory?, and I will document that result too."	defect	closed	not urgent at all		core libraries	4.2.x	worksforme
