ls /mnt/c
Oh, hey, there's the C drive in WSL! ;)
ln -s /mnt/c/Users/Somejerk/Documents ~/documents
Oh, man, a shared documents folder!
Granted, access to those files is slow as dirt because of the Plan9 filesystem, and there are some weird bugs where a process sometimes loses access to $cwd if it's not a native wsl filesystem (also a Plan9 bug reported to MS over a year ago). But it's tolerable when interoperability is necessary.
It also facilitates using the same filesystem under multiple WSL instances.
