Is it possible to have something along the lines of ME_{READ,WRITE,EXECUTE,DELETE,CD} to say if, as the user the program is running as, you can perform these actions? That strikes me as rather useful. (Alternately, could we have a field indicating if the current user is OWNER, GROUP, SYSTEM, or OTHER to this file? Gives you pretty much the same info.)
