Files.newDirectoryStream(Path, LinkOption...)

[Colin Decker]

Why is there no method for opening a DirectoryStream that allows
NOFOLLOW_LINKS? SecureDirectoryStream has such a method, but ironically it
isn't possible to get a SecureDirectoryStream in the first place without
the possibility of following a symbolic link. Any number of other methods,
including those for reading attributes and opening streams/channels, do
allow NOFOLLOW_LINKS, so why not newDirectoryStream?
