Comment:

 There is a fix in the 10_fish_stalls_on_symlink branch.. however this fix
 is uncomplete as it will fail in this scenario:

 echo "ALL OK" >"this -> file"
 ln -s "this -> file" "this -> link"

 The link will point to -> file instead of "this -> file".

 To fix this issue we need quoted output. (This means ls -Q). As this is no
 standard option but only used in gnu ls we have to check prior using it if
 this option is available.
 However this is related to ticket:149.
