-Oil defines `create_files_mode` to set the permission for new files. The mode
-follows the Posix numeric standard which use octal notation (base-8), however
-the variable must be set in decimal.
-
-    00700 user (file owner) has read, write, and execute permission
-    00400 user has read permission
-    00200 user has write permission
-    00100 user has execute permission
-    00070 group has read, write, and execute permission
-    00040 group has read permission
-    00020 group has write permission
-    00010 group has execute permission
-    00007 others have read, write, and execute permission
-    00004 others have read permission
-    00002 others have write permission
-    00001 others have execute permission
-    (from the open (2) man pages)
-
-An easy way to provide the right value for `create_files_mode` is using
-`tonumber(e [, base])` function with `base = 8`, for example:
->lua
-    create_files_mode = tonumber("0644", 8)
-
-The default value is 420 in decimal or 0644 in octal
