Minor nitpick: given the comment for this section (which seems to
suggest this only applies to symlinks to non-directories), wouldn't it
be "better" to simply have something like below instead for the if-then
case? I.e., a separate entry in dired-font-lock-keywords for the
failsafe.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Generic face for symbolic links
(list dired-re-sym
(when (not (connection-local-value dired-check-symlinks))
'(".+" (dired-move-to-filename) nil (0 dired-symlink-face))))
#+end_src
This is essentially what I have in my config today, and seems to behave
as expected.
