Implemented now and pushed as
81798740507c3414f4833a7451f9b559ca03a167, with tests even.  The
Windows code (all in win32/fs.cc) has not even been compiled, and does
not attempt to do the equivalent of supplying mode 0600 to open() - it
can be done, but it's way beyond my pain threshold.  (It does give the
user a nice friendly warning that the file is accessible to any user.)
