---------------------------------------------+------------------------
 Currently, there is no way to tell create_directory() or
 create_directories() what permissions to set for a new directory. This is
 particularly annoying when calling these functions from a library, where
 it's simply impossible to fiddle with umask.

 It would be really nice to have an overload that allows permissions to be
 set.
