Keep in mind that Windows lacks a mode_t.  We need to interop with
Windows.  If a Windows user cannot completely change file perms because
there's a mode_t completely out of their reach... they'll be frustrated.

Thus an ACL-and-mode model where both are applied doesn't work.  It'd be
nice, but it won't work.

The mode has to be entirely encoded by the ACL.  But we can't resort to
interesting encoding tricks as Windows users won't understand them.
