class SoftLink(linkextension.SoftLink, Link):
    """Represents a soft link (aka symbolic link).

    A soft link is a reference to another node in the *same* file hierarchy.
    Provided that the target node exists, its attributes and methods can be
    accessed directly from the softlink using the normal `.` syntax.

    Softlinks also have the following public methods/attributes:

        * `target`
        * `dereference()`
        * `copy()`
        * `move()`
        * `remove()`
        * `rename()`
        * `is_dangling()`

    Note that these will override any correspondingly named methods/attributes
    of the target node.

    For backwards compatibility, it is also possible to obtain the target node
    via the `__call__()` special method (this action is called *dereferencing*;
    see below)
