But if the dired buffer was created with ls -L, shouldn't M follow
links?
Yes, in that case I suppose M should do so (and similarly for G, O, T).
This raises the issue of what to do with output like the following from
GNU 'ls' when 'c' is a dangling symlink:
$ ls -lL
ls: cannot access 'c': No such file or directory
total 0

l????????? ? ? ? ? ? c
However, these are rare cases; typically dired buffers are created
without -L and we need to handle the typical cases better.
