Disambiguate symlink argument names The current argument naming in the following standard library functions is horribly ambiguous. - std::os::unix::fs::symlink: https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.47.0/std/os/unix/fs/fn.symlink.html - std::os::windows::fs::symlink_file: https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.47.0/std/os/windows/fs/fn.symlink_file.html - std::os::windows::fs::symlink_dir: https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.47.0/std/os/windows/fs/fn.symlink_dir.html **Notice that Swift uses one of the same names we do (`dst`) to refer to the opposite thing.** <br> | | the one that exists | the one that is<br>being created | reference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Rust | `src` | `dst` | | | Swift | `withDestinationPath`<br>`destPath` | `atPath`<br>`path` | <sub>https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/filemanager/1411007-createsymboliclink</sub> | | D | `original` | `link` | <sub>https://dlang.org/library/std/file/symlink.html</sub> | | Go | `oldname` | `newname` | <sub>https://golang.org/pkg/os/#Symlink</sub> | | C++| `target` | `link` | <sub>https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem/create_symlink</sub> | | POSIX | `path1` | `path2` | <sub>https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/symlink.html</sub> | | Linux | `target` | `linkpath` | <sub>https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/symlink.2.html</sub> | Out of these I happen to like D's argument names and am proposing that we adopt them. |
