 mode-mask)}}}, so you can easily add to it or remove from it, but POSIX
 sucks and doesn't provide an easy way to do that. It should be possible to
 set to a dummy value and then immediately reset the umask to fetch the
 value, though. It would also be a nice candidate for an SRFI-17 setter if
 we add this.

 I also think this is preferable, so an accessor procedure like this would
 be enough (with a setter).
