Make Permissions type abstract
This task is to make a proposal to make the portable Permissions type abstract. We could then implement copyPermissions using getPermissions and setPermissions, for example, and functions in the unix and Win32 packages would be able to do more with this type than the portable interface.
Originally part of #2610 (closed).
