This is impossible on Windows, AFAIK. There are special flags to the
syscall that opens a file or directory that can bypass any denied
rights to enter a directory or open a file. (These flags allegedly
exist so that system backup and restore programs could DTRT without
running as a privileged user.)
So, if we are to emulate this special value of mode-bits on Windows,
we need to decide exactly what rights we need to deny.
Or maybe a better implementation for Windows would be to create
encrypted files. Or maybe something else entirely; that's why I was
asking questions about the semantics of this.
