Dear ln maintainer,

I've had some trouble with the link utility ln. For example,

ln -fs file link

doesn't force the symbolic link. But,

ln -sf file link

works fine. My main concern is that ln -fs doesn't output an error letting 
me know that this isn't going to work. Do you have any plans to implement 
the -fs option in your next release of ln or possibly displaying an error 
message?

Sincerely,
