/**
* @assertion Future<Link> create(
* String target, {
* bool recursive: false
* })
* Creates a symbolic link. Returns a Future<Link> that completes with the link
* when it has been created. If the link exists, the future will complete with
* an error.
*
* If recursive is false, the default, the link is created only if all
* directories in its path exist. If recursive is true, all non-existing path
* components are created. The directories in the path of target are not
* affected, unless they are also in path.
*
* On the Windows platform, this will only work with directories, and the target
* directory must exist. The link will be created as a Junction. Only absolute
* links will be created, and relative paths to the target will be converted to
* absolute paths by joining them with the path of the directory the link is
* contained in.
*
* On other platforms, the posix symlink() call is used to make a symbolic link
* containing the string target. If target is a relative path, it will be
* interpreted relative to the directory containing the link.
* @description Checks that on the Windows platform, this will only work with
* directories, and the target directory must exist. Test existing file
