      On Qt for Mac and Linux:

      When a QFileInfo points to a symlink file, the method calls performed on the QFile object point to the target. There is no way to operate on the symlink file itself.

      It would be nice if QFile and QFileInfo provided a way to operate on the symlink file instead of the target.
