It's not backwards... thanks, Joey, I *finally* got why "ln -s A B" is
correct... or at least, why it can be seen as correct. (It seemed
backwards to me too).
Just replace the "ln -s" with "cp", and the order is obvious. Or,
replace "symlinked" with "copied", and the order explains itself.

But that wording is a lot less ambiguous... people will get the
correct meaning, no matter which way they view symlinks (from the POV
of the symlink ("I point to this file") or from the operation ("We
make a copy, but only a symbolic one")),

BTW, what stands against merging them? Hmm, choice of implementation
language, most probably (I'd say get rid of the bash version, python's
more readable anyway ;-))
Bye, J
