 5.2.4 Conditional Executability
 -------------------------------
 
 There is one more special type of symbolic permission: if you use 'X'
 instead of 'x', execute permission is affected only if the file is a
 directory or already had execute permission.
 
    For example, this mode:
 
      a+X
 
 gives all users permission to search directories, or to execute files if
 anyone could execute them before.
