I think the first thing you need to do is respond to Serhiy's objection:

    Sorry, but I do not understand what problem do you try to solve. If
    somebody can create a file named link_name between unlink and 
    symlink, he can also remove and create a file named link_name after 
    symlink.

If Serhiy is correct, that completely undermines the primary motive for 
adding this functionality.
