I think one of the stakes should be emphasized more, it's when you

In my experience, I have to dereference non-existing files as well as
existing files. In fact, whether the file exists or not is handled
as late
as possible in the process.
So if fred is a symlink, I do have to dereference without error a
reference
such as:
/bla[1]/foo/bar/what/ever/fred/some/folder/some/file
To be clear: when talking about symlinks, "dereference" means "access
the file being linked to". If you can explain how to get information
out of a nonexistent file, please do. :)
[1] Linguistic note: "bla" is French for "blah"
Oddities of spelling. "bla" in English and "blah" in French would
yield the same pronunciations as their current forms. :)
Very often, French spelling is longer than English one.
It was normal to point one of the rare case when French (bla) is
shorter than English (blah).
Yes, I know this message is just blablabla ;-)
