Currently on my mind os `os.FileMode`; here's a comment I wrote in some Go code that interfaces with Python:
// A StatMode represents a file's mode and permission bits, as represented in Python
// (i.e. `os.stat()`'s `st_mode` member). Similar to how Go's `os.FileMode` assigns bits to have
// the same definition on all systems for portability, Python's `stat` assigns bits to have the same
// definition on all systems for portability. And it just so happens that Go's bits match those of
// Plan 9, and Python's bits match those of the Linux kernel.
type StatMode uint16
PS: If you weren't aware, Renée French's connection to Plan 9 and Go is largely that she's married to Rob Pike.
