} So, how about:

} - :a remains as it is today
} - :A when CHASE_DOTS set: same as :A today (resolves '..' first and
} symlinks second)
} - :A when CHASE_DOTS unset: as in the patch: equivalent to realpath(3)
} except that non-existing trailing path components are permitted
}
} Would that address everyone's concerns?
I believe it would resolve most of mine. :A is a relatively new feature
so it would be understandable for it to evolve a bit. However, it is in
use in a few places already (e.g., expand-absolute-path, VCS_INFO_quilt,
zsh-mime-handler). I don't think any of those uses would be compromised
by this change, but if anyone wants to do a more thorough search for use
cases, don't be shy.
} Note this doesn't use CHASE_LINKS at all, neither in :A nor in :a.
Makes sense; :a plus CHASE_LINKS would be :A.
