 Replying to [comment:7 pbiron]:
 > I'm not seeing the described behavior of `is_writable()` returning false
 for symlinks (PHP 7.1.24 on Windows 10).

 I know Windows has a symlink like mechanism, but I'm unfamiliar with it,
 so maybe this needs to be tested on a linux box to be sure. PHP probably
 doesn't have the exact same behaviors here.
