Recently I wanted to make an write-file-hook, that would change the
mode of a file (on disc) to executable if it started with

	#!/executable/file

Which, e.g. in Unix, allows one to `execute' a script of some sort.
Examining the files.el in the distribution I found that the hooks run
at save time, are all run before the actual saving (perhaps) is taking
place.  This was a problem in my case, as I (at least) can not change
the mode of a non existent file...

Sure - I could write a new save-buffer, but that's not a general
solution... (so far I've just copied it, and inserted my own hook at
the end)

What do you think about that ?
