As long as linked file has some indication on the icon so you understand
it is not the only place the file exist. 

(therefor, if you have created two dirs, with hard-linked
files, it could be possible to see that files in both dirs are
hardlinked - and therefore that they MIGHT be the same files - avoiding
editing a file that should have been a copy)

However, hardlinking is an 'advanced' feature that should be forcibly
turned on, as it might be hard to understand at first. (And might
confuse people who think it's a quick way to make backups (it's fast!))
