Why not (1) Give `set-file-modes' an interactive spec (defaulting to the current buffer's filename), and (2) make `set-file-modes' understand chmod-style strings as well as integer modes (I guess the interactive spec would have to decide how to parse integers -- would defaulting to octal be reasonable?). Then just add an alias chmod => set-file-modes (for those people who are used to unix), and everybody's happy!
