+    | October CMS, by default, will allow symlinks within the first level of
+    | subdirectories. When this feature is enabled, the system will allow
+    | symlinks to be used at any directory level. This can be useful for
+    | symlinking individual plugins or themes.
+    |
+    | Please note that this has a negative effect on performance. This feature
+    | abides by "cms.restrictBaseDir" - if enabled, symlinks cannot point to
+    | resources outside of the root folder.
+    |
+    | true  - allow symlinks at any level
+    |
+    | false - only allow symlinks at the first level of subdirectories (default)
