Because I added symlink support to low level of library (not the lowest -
_open(), _chmod() and other direct wrappers to DOS calls are untouched),
currently I do not check it directly because _check_v2_prog() works correctly
with symlinks too. Sure, it is possible to check for symlinks and use
!proxy then, but I want to have symlink implementation nice & clean, and
in this case - transparent.

I don't.
