Doesn't anyone else think it would be a good addition to open to specify a file
creation mode? Like posix open? Avoid all these nasty workarounds?
I do, although I'm hesitant, because this only applies when mode ==
'w', and open has a large and growing list of parameters.
The buffer parameter (I believe it is) also does not always apply.
The original open builtin was a thin wrapper around old C's stdio.open.
Open no longer has that constraint. After more discussion here, someone
could open a tracker issue with a specific proposal. Keep in mind that
'mode' is already a parameter name for the mode of opening, as opposed
to the permission mode for subsequent users.
