Description:

Repeat-By:
pryzbyj@andromeda:/tmp$ rm a; ln -s . a; if [[ -L a ]]; then echo link;
fi;
link
Fix:
I anticipate that this can't be changed, either because its
intentional, or because its been that way since 1950 sh v0.01
and everyone except me wants it that way. So, I recommend a
note in the manpage describing this.
I know, by the way, that [[ -L ${A}/ ]] does not pass, because
of the trailing slash.
- [[ -L $A ]] matches both symlinks and symlinks to directories,
