Hm...  I can't say that I can remember ever wanting to visit symlinks in
a dired buffer in particular.  What's the use case?
Of course, it is of interest if you work a lot with symbolic links: to move promptly to them with short typing.
I do use them often, that's why I feel good with this.

Of course, if it is not see as something useful it's OK to discard this idea (that's why I wanted to ask first) :-)

And I think that if I wanted to, I probably wouldn't remember these
keystrokes -- I'd just isearch for -> instead.
I added the menu entry under 'Immediate' for discoverability.

For american keyboards is almost same exercise push < or > than { or }
Also, the curly braces suggested me some directionability in their shape that we haven't exploit yet.
I have noticed dired+ is not using this key either.
