I guess my idea was that you set the default using the file-modes
file and then can override it in a script using the cmdline option if
you need different modes for the same file in different scripts.
But it seems also reasonable to change this.

So you like to change the precedence so that the cmdline sets the
default and the file-modes can override this?

The precedence will then become from low to high:

- modes of source file
- specified on the command line with -m/-M
- file-modes files in the files tree

That seems to be obvious better.
This is a normal bug. But surely I will fix it in the next release.
