Yes, adding followSymlinks to existing functions could be a bit of a mess, because we would end up with different defaults, since stat and lstat are not being used consistently at the moment. But adding the two wrapper functions stat and lstat without removing all the others and rewriting all the call sites would be a bit of a mess, too. Suggestions?
