I think he was asking, why you want to do this - not, why would
anyone be against it. I had the same question.
I just looked over the "set" output, though, and can't find any difference -
bash sets itself up differently if invoked as "sh", but doesn't appear
to notice in either case that it's a symbolic link. So even if we don't
know why we're doing it, it looks like we can proceed without fear that
it will make any difference.
