If you guys really are going to make it this complicated, please 
consider the syntax offered by GNU find's -perm option.

CIDR-style masking actually is a poor fit here, because it only answers 
one question -- is that in this?

With generalized permissions queries, you may wish to ask different 
kinds of questions.

But again, I think this is all too much generalisation.  I think the 
user interface only needs "not world readable" as a discriminator, 
regardless of how clever it gets under the hood.
