For the kernel there is a lot of specialized logic to make it work.
Another example is Fedora's alternatives system (which, for example, allows multiple versions of Java to coexist) but again that requires specialized logic.
Question: how many levels of symlinks-pointing-to-symlinks does it take to get to the right place?
