What about using the same name as in the standard lib?
https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html?highlight=link#os.link
https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html?highlight=link#follow-symlinks
If
follow_symlinksis False, and the last element of the path to operate on is a symbolic link, the function will operate on the symbolic link itself rather than the file pointed to by the link. (For POSIX systems, Python will call the l... variant of the function.)

This PR modifies walk(), is_file(), and is_dir() to have the option to follow symlinks. This is needed for the situations where we are forced to deal with symlinked files.
