Comment (by Mark Evenson):

 Replying to [comment:3 Mark Evenson]:

 Actually, we decided not to return TRUENAME for DIRECTORY in order to be
 able to get the contents of a directory with dangling symlinks.

 The extension to ANSI via :RESOLVE-SYMLINKS was added as
 <https://abcl.org/trac/ticket/340>, in which it was argued that
 symlinks should be considered contents of a directory, and that in
 any event, performing a DIRECTORY on a dangling symlink should not
 signal an error.

 See <https://abcl.org/trac/changeset/14624> for additional information on
 implementation decision.
