Comment(by sjamaan):

 +1 on on the bang.

 I'd also like a way to retrieve the current value {{{(file-creation-mode-
 mask)}}}, so you can easily add to it or remove from it, but POSIX sucks
 and doesn't provide an easy way to do that. It should be possible to set
 to a dummy value and then immediately reset the umask to fetch the value,
 though. It would also be a nice candidate for an SRFI-17 setter if we add
 this.
