Not sure that's what I want.
What I really want to know is that I *arrived* there
via a *SYMLINK* -- maybe shouted out at me in
uppercase or something!
So often, for me at least, if I've gotten to some file
via a symlink -- hey, something's *wrong*.
So, for me, anyway, some (optionally *loud*!) mark or word
or other indication *on the buffer-name*, both in
*Buffer List* and in the mode-line too.
Again, LOUD -- since for me getting to some file via
a symlink is really unusual, and for sure I want
to know about it -- and be reminded of it each time
I deal with that file (buffer).
Comments, anyone?
