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.
