The script is about testing executable bits, so it is fine that the
above cannot be used to expect a symbolic link (if we wanted to
support it, we'd just take the whole 100644 vs 120000 without
support to let the caller give abbreviated input).

But then it is curious that this asks the caller to say 0755 vs 0644,
not 755 vs 644, which would be sufficient.

Use of "touch" makes the readers wonder a few unnecessary and
irrelevant things, like "does this test care about the timestamp of
this file?", "did mode_test file exist before?", and "what contents
did mode_test file have that the 'touch' tries to preserve while
updating the timestamp?"

Saying

	>mode_test &&

is much better here in this context.  It makes it clear that it does
not matter if the file did or did not exist before, the only thing
we care about is it exists as an empty file.

Very portable way to add an executable file.  Would work regardless
of the filesystem.  Very nice.
