415	read-symbolic-link canonicalization of a non-link	Jim Ursetto	felix winkelmann	"In ""canonicalize"" mode, read-symbolic-link resolves symlinks recursively until a non-link is returned.  However, if you pass it a non-link to start, it will throw an error.  In my opinion, it should treat this as a base case and return the non-link instead of throwing an error."	enhancement	closed	not urgent at all	4.9.0	core libraries	4.6.x	fixed	read-symbolic-link canon fodder
