Then you won't get a portable solution. And you won't get
non-truenames without specifying some non-standard flag to DIRECTORY.
And you won't get truename to mean something different to DIRECTORY
and to TRUENAME without confusing users.

If you're looking for CMUCL-only thing, then
	(directory "*.*" :follow-links nil :truenamep nil)
will do what you want (I'm not sure :follow-links nil does anything
when you already specify :truenamep nil).
