this isn't argument (and I don't see how is this related to security)

I wonder -- if you need such behaviour -- why don't you extend the 
syntax, e.g. ";/-r/-r" would mean non-readonly files and non-readonly 
directories etc.

anyway, I'm strictly against the original patch for DOS/Windows 
platforms as readonly flag for directories on them is meaningless so no 
behaviour should be based on it
