What about symlinks though? Would you expect that passing `path/to/file` fails because `path` is a symlink and you should have specified `/var/foo/bar/to/file`? (It's basically the same problem -- do we make the user pass the resolved path or do we canonicalize the path for the user and use that to do the filtering?)
