Another goal I have for any refinement in "enable" behavior is
defining how instances should work with commands. For example, because
we check "is-enabled" against the target of the symlinks, "systemctl
is-enabled nginx at 123.service" returns false unless there's a specific
"nginx at 123.service" unit (IIRC). So, "status" functions differently
from "is-enabled" in terms of how it matches up data. This gets really
weird when it comes to displaying the "enabled" state in the "status"
output.
