That would break too many programs and users I suspect!

However, an easy way to remember for ln is that the FIRST thing you write is the EXISTING file :)

-t

    Hi all!

    ln syntax is very uncertain - every time I use ln I'm confused what is
    correct "ln -s LINK TARGET" or "ln -s TARGET LINK"! Of cause I can
    check man ln or ln --help, but what if we add unambiguous syntax, for
    example

    ln -s LINK=TARGET
