--- Comment #3 from starcanopy <starcanopy at protonmail.com> ---
A potential blocker for this issue's resolution is that Windows (10)
necessitates enabling Developer Mode to utilize symlinks. Thus, unless the CIs'
Windows hosts may and might be configured to do this, then the Windows' version
of `symlink` cannot have a unittest. If that's not acceptable, then this issue
should be closed, and the documentation of symlink should inform users of
`core.sys.windows.symlink`'s presence. (As of now, the docs merely specify that
only POSIX is supported, and I think mentioning that directly utilizing the
WinAPI is easy.)
The other pertinent function, `readLink`, is also affected.
