symlink means soft link

Yeah, it means symbolic link, but it always refers to soft links. But I lumped the hard link into the same event, as we have the ability to list either e (hard) or a (soft) tags.

Maybe I need a different name, but symlink sounds cool, and this whole topic is incredibly dull and nerdy, and I want to be cool.

yeah, the distinction is that events are immutable, that's the hardest part of it. d tags give you a handle to point a tags at so then you have a kind of mutability. the relay is supposed to recognise this and return the newest (or even delete old versions) when it gets an event with a d tag on it.
