Well, FWIW 'man ln' tells:
ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME (1st form)
ln [OPTION]... TARGET (2nd form)
ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY (3rd form)
ln [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY TARGET... (4th form)
So there are 4 ways of invoking ln. Twice the target is the last
argument, twice the one before the last. This just seem to indicate that
you can pick whichever order sounds most consistent to you... 8-)
