The numeric option is always interpreted as an octal number, and (in
octal) 755 == 0755.  That is probably a good thing, since some of us
_always_ start an octal number with a 0 (shoot, I type 04555 for a
setuid file, not just 4555).  Having a leading zero mean anything else
would be even more confusing.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
