I've created a PR here:

https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/14464

Only shutil.symlink is currently implemented.

Feedback sought from Windows users.

@Michael.Felt please note that `overwrite=False` is the default.

@taleinat I hope that the new implementation addresses the infinite loop concern.

Please be both thorough and gentle - this is my first PR.
