- aliases (just like hardlinks) can't be folder-relative
This is inaccurate. One can make a relative alias. There is no UI in the
Finder for doing so, but it *is* possible programatically.
I stand corrected, then. But, well, it kinda goes very strictly against
what all those Carbon experts taught me:
Aliases don't reference path(*); they use a global file ID (something like
inode) instead: how they could be path-relative?
(*) Actually they do, but only as a backdrop for case the primary means of
referencing does not work.
