basically correct. even a - as a prefix will be nicer and closer to the
original -X stuff. but that might conflict with the -rwx ideas (which i
am not fond of anyway).
if ( -readable( $filename ) ) {
not the best. would that be confused with a sub readable and a leading
unary negation? in fact how does perl parse -r now vs - r()?
