Interesting thought:
	Ian! said that you can't have the command "chmod 0666 0777" change
meaning on the basis of whether or not there's a file "0666" in the directory.
	However, it's perfectly acceptable for UNIX people to have the command
"chmod 0666 0777" change meaning on the basis of whether or not there's a file
"chmod" in the directory.
