I hope I'm not asking a stupid question... If I symlink a directory, is symlink 
considered as directory in R? If so, why `dir.exists` returns FALSE on 
directory?

I understand symlink is essentially a file, but functionally a symlink to 
directory is no different to the directory itself, but a directory is also 
essentially a file.

Is there any way that allow me to check if a symlink is linked to directory in 
base R, like `dir.exists(..., symlink_ok = TRUE)`?

Thanks,
Dipterix
