Re: [armedbear-devel] Getting directory listing with symlinks included

If I have a directory containing a file named a.txt and a symlink b.txt that points to a.txt, is there any ABCL function I can call to get both directory entries as separate objects, i.e. the list (#p"a.txt" #p"b.txt")? The semantics of CL:DIRECTORY seem to require resolving the b.txt symlink, so I'm trying to figure out an extra-standard way to do it in ABCL, if possible.

I suppose we could add a keyword argument to DIRECTORY that would allow that, or add a separate function. I don't think we have such a facility at the moment.
