*** Dired allows to disable checks for symbolic link validity.
Dired fontifies symbolic links in Dired buffers using the
'file-truename' operation. This can be slow for remote directories.
Setting user option 'dired-check-symlinks' to nil disables these checks.
*** New user option 'dired-check-symlinks' allows disabling validity checks.
Dired uses 'file-truename' to check symbolic link validity when
fontifying them, which can be slow for remote directories. Setting
'dired-check-symlinks' to nil disables these checks. Defaults to t, can
be set as a connection-local variable.
