4663	filesystem objects falsely identified as symlinks	Claudio Bley	Beman Dawes	"Symlink status on windows is determined only by checking the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT attribute.

But, that doesn't really mean the file is a symlink as the type of a reparse point depends on the reparse point tag.

If the file has the IO_REPARSE_TAG_SYMLINK or IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT tag, then it is some kind of symlink (junction, mount point or symlink).
