I think Zack is describing the unix permissions model specifically
here, where the 'x' permission is overloaded. It means 'executable' on
files, but 'can access contents' on directories.

In any case, there is a default creation permission for file on both
systems. The API is about being about to change them if you need
specific settings with the default might not or did not provide.
