 Some will think it says too much, or says it in the wrong manpage, but
 it looks good to me. (I'd probably delete "by design...need to".)
 I hope you include this in the same para as your other sentence.
 
 BTW, I forgot that you might just be commenting on the PR and it might
 not be assigned to you (yet?).  Unless I hear otherwise, I'll just
 forget about it for a while and see later whether I need to do more
 with it, like write (small?)  patches for chown & chgrp, which I'm now
 thinking should probably refer to this rather extensive explanation in
 chmod.  Unless you think it needn't be mentioned anywhere else.
