The user should always be able to change this option per directory.

This is a nice to have when using shared folders. Without this feature you need to change the permissions back every time a user adds new files.

The functionality I am looking for, could be done by using some kind of combination of:

- The SGID bit in chmod
- Let the user assign some kind of umask to a directory

Use cases:
I have a home network and one of the computers is being used as file server. I want to use a folder to share pictures. And let users in the network to add more pictures to this folder, without the need from the user that added the new picture or the root to restore the access to everyone else.
