live code seems to gratuitously unlock write permission for directories

[Bob Sneidar]

So what *actually* happens when you save a file is, the old file is renamed by prepending a tilde (~) to the filename, then an attempt to save the file as the original is attempted. If all goes well, the backup copy is deleted. So in a sense you are not actually saving, you are saving as. 

Someone correct me on this if I am wrong.
