so the question is:

If I change AS_EXECUTABLE_P the proposed way, it may succeed on
executable special file (fifo, device file, etc.) does it mind?
Wdyt?

Regarding symlinks, we currently rely on the fact that `test -f' succeeds
on a symlink to a regular file.  So I see no problem if we start to rely
on the fact that `test -d' fails on that symlink.

Have a nice day,
