@ljharb could you please review this?

although Travis is failing on some node versions, it doesn't seem to be caused by these changes.

Thanks, this looks great - tests should be fixed on master; after a rebase we should be good to go!

it is worth noting that this line means that this file will now not work in a browser; whereas i think it would have prior

I've just done the rebase for you; but perhaps we shouldn't make this be a breaking change by enabling the behavior by default?

Thanks!

I think preserveSymlinks should be false by default because that is how Node resolution works by default. If you think this is dangerous or it is preferable to not make breaking changes (I know that this package is very widely used), I am fine to make it true now and then maybe in the future we'll make it false by default

Yeah - let's do that (have it default to true for now) and release a semver-minor.

I'll plan a breaking change in the future that flips it to false - if you'd like to make that PR after this one's merged, I'll rebase and merge it when it's time :-)

Changed preserveSymlinks to true by default

Added a notice to README about changing the default value of preserveSymlinks in next major version. It will help me convince users of resolve use preserveSymlinks: false earlier.
