     Type:  enhancement                      |      Status:  new  
 Priority:  not urgent at all                |   Milestone:  4.7.0
Component:  core libraries                   |     Version:  4.6.x
 Keywords:  read-symbolic-link canon fodder  |  
---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 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.
