Details:

I would like mkdir -p to observe the default ACL in preference to the umask
(as nearly all other programs do) when creating parent directories.

To reproduce, run this in an empty directory on a filesystem with ACLs
enabled:
umask 0077
setfacl -dm u::rwx,g::rwx,o::rwx .
mkdir foo
mkdir -p bar/baz
ls -l

Actual result:
total 0
drwx------+ 3 matt matt 72 Apr  7 11:32 bar
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 matt matt 48 Apr  7 11:32 foo

Desired result:
total 0
drwxrwxrwx+ 3 matt matt 72 Apr  7 11:32 bar
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 matt matt 48 Apr  7 11:32 foo
