I didn't know it was a bug. It would be easy to hack that check to check for
dired or wdired mode too. I am not sure how beneficial it would be though.
Honestly I think editing permissions is just a show off :-). I never sed wdired
for that. It is much easier for me to do it chmod when I need it, either from
the minibuffer or command line. Maybe we can just document behaviour in
manual and clode the bug? 🙂

The hard part was Stefan's, I was mostly just complaining and did an
initial sketch, and some "easy parts " :-).
