The info we want for scandir is that of the link itself. That makes it easy to implement things like the "followlinks" flag of os.walk. The far end of the link isn't relevant at this level.
This also mirrors listdir, correct? scandir is simply* returning something smarter than a string.
The docs just need to be clear that DirEntry objects always match lstat(), never stat().
Agreed.
