/// @assertion Future<Link> create(
///  String target, {
///  bool recursive: false
///  })
/// Creates a symbolic link in the file system.
///
/// The created link will point to the path at `target`, whether that path
/// exists or not.
///
/// Returns a `Future<Link>` that completes with the link when it has been
/// created. If the link path already 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
/// parent paths are created first. The directories in the path of target are
/// not affected, unless they are also in [path].
///
/// On the Windows platform, this call will create a true symbolic link instead
/// of a junction. The link represents a file or directory and does not change
/// its type after creation. If `target` exists then the type of the link will
/// match the type `target`, otherwise a file symlink is created.
///
/// In order to create a symbolic link on Windows, Dart must be run in
/// Administrator mode or the system must have Developer Mode enabled, otherwise
/// a [FileSystemException] will be raised with `ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD` set
/// as the errno when this call is made.
///
/// 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 this method creates the link. Test [Directory] as
/// a target
