boolean isOther()

[Martin Buchholz]

Alan,
Thanks for pushing me to become a nio2 contributor.

Changes are at:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~martin/symbolic-link/

You know the drill. Please file a bug and review.

Synopsis: Clarifications for symbolic link related specs
Description:
Use "symbolic link" instead of "link" where that might be clearer.
Consistently use "symbolic link" instead of "symbolic-link".
Minor wording improvements.

You might want to blenderrev this to better review it.

Martin
