Re: dired needs symlink inderction gradual stripper

    I am sitting on top of
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 5 28 21:39 words -> /etc/alternatives/dictionary
    and I would like, with just a keystroke, arrive at a revised dired
    listing, i.e. that file now from the standpoint of /etc/alternatives

This seems like a useful feature.  One complication is, how should
this command decide what part of that directory to list?  Should it
always list the whole directory?  Just that one file?  Either one is
easy enough to do.
