find-file-visit-truename

i have had find-file-visit-truename set to t forever.  it used to
work.  i still have it set to t.

however, in 27.1, it does not work as i expect.

here is what i expect:

- a is a symlink that points to real file b
- i find-file a
- real file b shows in mode line buffer identification
- other stuff like echo area notifications and more

here is what occurs

- mode line buffer identification shows symlink a <-- bug
- i have not tried to check other stuff thoroughly
- (buffer-file-name) correctly shows real file b

i think that mode line buffer identification shoud show real file b.
i find it confusing that the dereferencing does not occur as it used
to.

thanks.
