    Does any of the following functions need to change?
    (assume that /tmp/DELETEME is a symlink that points to a non-existent file)

    (read-file-name-internal "/tmp/DELETEME" "/tmp" 'lambda)
    currently returns nil. Should it return t? 

I think it depends on the purpose.  In most cases, probably nil is
right.  For some specific purposes, for operating on symlinks, t would
be better.
