Description

`highlight` doesn't seem to handle soft-links the same way `grep` does.

It would be nice to look into this and figure out the differences between how `grep` and `highlight` handle soft-links, for both files and directories. Writing up the differences on this issue would be adequate.

After the differences have been figured out, the next step would be to send a PR changing `highlight` and `hrep` to handle soft-links the same way as `grep`. (This part may not be as beginner-friendly as above).
