terms.
There have been occasional mails that try and clarify what we're
talking about.
I think they're helpful.

| Instead of mask specification, just say mask.

One way:
I write a mask each line of which is a mask and then the mask compiler
turns it into a mask that the mask interpreter uses to mask the
permissions?
Q: What's the role of the mask?

Another way:
I write a mask specification each line of which is a masklet and then
the mask compiler turns it  into a maskfs that the mask interpreter
uses to modify the permissions?
Q: What's the role of the mask specification?

Confusion is bad.

Nb in conversation then of course we say 'first, write a mask' - lets
just agree the terminology for clarifying the followon questions.
