[issue15093] ntpath.isdir returns False for directory symlinks

[Atsuo Ishimoto]

Atsuo Ishimoto <ishimoto at gembook.org> added the comment:

On Windows, 'target_is_directory' is required for directory symlink.

python -c "import os; os.mkdir('bar'); os.symlink('bar', 'foo', target_is_directory=True); print(os.path.isdir('foo'))"
True

Should we automatically specify target_is_directory if target exists and the target is a directory?
