Hi!
There can be certainly no "working and portable" implementation of stuff like NTFS ACLs on *nix or a useful chmod implementation on Windows and
I am starting to feel you and Pierre are failing to see forest for the trees. The goal is not to implement every tiny detail of Windows FS functionality on any OS imaginable. The goal is to make common scenarios, used in myriads of existing applications, work with streams. If there's an app in PHP that does or needs NTFS ACLs, I don't address it. I address tons of other apps that just do chmod() and I want to make it work with streams the same it works without streams. I know it's not ideal and I don't want ideal - I want working. I don't want to design a perfect system that handles every imaginable case that never gets implemented because it will be bikeshedded to death on the list - I want simple and working solution that can be done by using existing functionality.
