I'm fine if we make this optional too. In my next spin I'll add an
option that does this.

Indeed it does. Will go with that for v2.

I can trace readlink -e support back to 2004:

https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/e0b8973bd4b146b5fb39641a4ee7984e922c3ff5

> # realpath -e /tmp/c

realpeath is much newer than readlink, it's first commit including
support for -e dates back to 2011;

https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/77ea441f79aa115f79b47d9c1fc9c0004c5c7111

And so canonicalizing with readlink is 7 years older and likely to be
supported in more ancient distros with older coreutils. I'll go with
readlink -e unless I hear otherwise.

Done. The only eye sore is how to convert the loop for the SCRATCH_DEV_POOL,
here's what I have for a v2:
