New GitHub issue #119588 from jaraco:<br>
<hr>
<pre>
In jaraco/zipp#117, I learned that the current implementation of `is_symlink` might have a security risk if a user is relying on it to ensure that a zipfile has no symlinks before using another tool to extract it.
zipp 3.19.0 adds an implementation for `Path.is_symlink` to alleviate this risk.
CPython should adopt this change as well, possibly as a security fix.
