Another possible solution (that I have not proven or even finished thinking about) is to
detect a symlinked path at mount time and mount in both the symlinked path and the
canonical path. You wouldn't really need to mount multiple filesystems, as it would
really be the same filesystem mounted in multiple locations in the VFS. This would allow
either path to be used from that point forward and both paths would resolve to the same
filesysem entries. There would be no need to perform excessive getCanonicalFile calls once
the mount has occurred.
Some things to think about:
1. This only works if the mount occurs from the symlinked path however
2. It would need to make sure the canonical path is not currently mounted with another
filesystem
3. Unmounting would need to remove both
Just a thought.
