That is not a symbolic link, it's a mount ,they are quite different the
symbolic link it's pretty much like a tunnel, all it does is taking you
there, while the mount it's pretty much like a portal, with link you have
the file only once, while with the mount you have the file twice (though
only it's name, not it's content), though any changes are synchronized
automagically.

Let me make it clear with a symlink cd Programs and cd Programas are the
same, you end up in Programs, however with mounts you end up in effectively
different folders.

Mounts solve copying and delete (however in my test it only deletes  the
content, but this should be easy to solve), about moving well
... Maybe we could do something about it? I don't know

However, I'm wondering how much performance that will take and/or if it
won't be more efficient for this case doing it in the kernel side hmmm...
Anyway, unless it's proven it's slow it doesn't matter  :P.

Hope this solved any question you had :).
