How to check whether stow skipped pointing symlink or not

Hi there,

I was wondering if `stow` provides a way to check whether it skipped
pointing symlink to destination since it already exists or not.
The only way I accomplished that was looking at the stderr output using the
-vv option and finding if it has '--- Skipping' text.

The motivation is to use it with Ansible to execute `stow` idempotently.

Is there a neat way to do that?
