Also your notion of mode-equivalence here is interesting, it's actually
a strict subset of the ACLs that produce the same permission results as
a mode. (For example, everyone:rwx,bfields:rwx is equivalent to 0777
but won't be considered mode-equivalent by this algorithm.)
I think the choices you've made probably make the most sense, they just
wouldn't have been obvious to me. Anyway, so, OK by me:
