New submission from Adam Olsen rha...@gmail.com:
destination is ambiguous. It means opposite things, depending on if
it's the symlink creation operation or if it's the symlink itself.
In contrast, old is clearly what existed before the operation, and
new is what the operation creates. This terminology is already in use
by os.rename.
