Comment (by azaozz):

 Thinking some more about this: would it make sense to check the
 permissions before attempting to set them? Would make setting permissions
 a bit slower, but would avoid unnecessary changes. May also help in cases
 where `chmod()` has been disabled.

 Also perhaps instead of checking the exact permissions `is_readable()` or
 `is_writable()` may make more sense in some cases? This can also be in a
 plugin assuming there is `wp_chmod()` and a short-circuit filter.
