	If I catch your drift -- we might be saying same --

if I specify 'wide links = true' or ' = insecurely_true,
the former could change a '_non-specified_ default for unix extensions to "off"
but generate an error if both are specified.

if I use the 'insecurity_true' could again force unix extensions to off as default, but
if user explicitly specifies both, then they are knowingly turning on
both options and only in that case would they get the old behavior.


In my setup my root dir is shared via samba, so wide links are not
a security issue.   I.e.  In my situation, a bug was created -- no security
issue was fixed.

as likely as not to offput someone...;-)
