Sorry, now that I've found the right variable, I guess my
question is:
Should find-file-compare-truenames be 't' by default instead of
'nil'?
Maybe. I set it to t in my .emacs. Most people probably wouldn't
care. Some people might object that it's too "intelligent", and that
it might break things in some situations.
But it seems like the right default behaviour, so I see no good reason
not to enable it by default. Is the GNU Emacs equivalent feature
configurable? If yes, is it "on" by default?
