I don't know how often they are used either. I'm a Windows user for a very long
time and never saw them in action. But I ran into this issue when using npm on
Windows. Seems like I'm not the only one, this is exactly the issue I had:
https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/5189

Yes I also think it would be great if we could support that. The stackoverflow
link I posted earlier contains 2 possible suggestions for how to detect Windows
Junctions using Java8 API.

- Using the Path.toRealPath() method: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29699473
- Using BasicFileAttributes: https://stackoverflow.com/a/48291462

Do you have a preference? I can try to submit a patch for this.
