That said, I'm not sure I see any important use cases for adding this
functionality, so perhaps I'm missing something.

At the moment, dired doesn't display them as pointing to somewhere.

I thought that it would be nice to know that some directory is actually a junction.

It seemed to me that getting this information wasn't very different from what is 

done for symlinks.

Maybe I should have started by saying that.

OTOH, the user might also want to be able to fully handle them from dired.
