yes, i see.  i hadn't realized that.

maybe, though, we could start off by warning people who are writing
integer values; then deprecate it; then, N-releases from now, make it
illegal?

such a path might be worth it.  or, at least the warnings --
irrespective, i would say, of whether or not the decimal value turns
into some "reasonable" file mode value.

cheers, Greg
