Previously this either followed the link silently or asked for permission.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis prevents writes from being silently redirected through a symlink to an unexpected location, and makes the real destination explicit instead.\n\n- Area: File Editing\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
