Yeah it is rather specific, although it is fairly trivial to implement. There is a file bin read in the template renderer, basically all that needs to happen is that you check if it is a symlink before that and resolve the symlink before reading the file. My reason for bringing it to the core group is that symlinks are a pretty standard feature of the file system so I sort of expected them to just be followed.
