... oh, and now that I've actually looked at the patch, I think it's a seriously bad idea to proceed by removing the mode parameter to PathNameOpenFile et al. That's basically doubling down on an assumption that there are NO places in the backend, and never will be any, in which we want to create files with nondefault permissions. That assumption seems broken on its face. It also makes the patch exceedingly invasive for extensions.
