It works like a text editor, i.e. if you edit a file that is a
symlink, when saving, it doesn't first remove the file, and then
recreate it, just open for writing, and like most text editors,
when saving a backup, resolve the file's realpath.
It is also a solution for the problem described some time ago,
about /etc/X11 being a symlink to /usr/share/X11. So xorg.conf
can be a symlink to elsewhere, if /usr/share/X11 is read only.
