It'd be good if dired "M" `dired-do-chmod' could act on the "." and ".."
directories in the dired buffer.

As far as I can tell there'd be no reason they shouldn't.  I struck this
wanting to add write permission to a directory which had been left
read-only (something out of an unzip or untar).

(Presently dired-do-chmod also queries for the mode before announcing it
won't act on . or .., whereas of course usually in other places in emacs
such failing pre-conditions are checked before user input.)
