link has (sort of) the behavior of the previously suggested --as-is
option: if the target filename exists as a directory, link will fail;
ln will modify the target filename behind your back.  (The --as-is
option would also modify the target filename, but only if it
originally ended with "/" - it wouldn't depend on the contents of the
filesystem.)
