questions about directory function

Impnotes says:
 (DIRECTORY "/etc/*/") lists all subdirectories in the directory #P"/etc/".

In my current build (on linux)
 (directory "/etc/*/")
 [../src/pathname.d:7223] 
 *** - OS-FILE-ERROR(ENOENT): No such file or directory

 (DIRECTORY "/etc/*") lists all regular files in the directory #P"/etc/"
This does work, btw.

However the results I find somewhat surprising:
The symbolic link
  grub2.cfg -> ../boot/grub2/grub.cfg
shows up as
  #P"/boot/grub2/grub.cfg"
Somehow I expected /etc/grub2.cfg.

What are the arguments for either choice?
Perhaps this should be mentioned in impnotes.

I see I can get both paths from the :full option.
