Symlink grouping with --group-directories-first in ls

[Amin Bandali]

Hello,

I recently discovered ls’s --group-directories-first option to list
directories before files.  It seems that the option treats all symlinks
as files, and thus doesn’t group symlinks to directories with the actual
directories on the top.

It would be great if ls had an option to group directory symlinks with
the real directories when --group-directories-first is specified.

Best,
