Only structural changes are denied (if they weren't already through prior
edits on the parent). alter_directory is still allowed after the child op,
presuming you haven't called it already.

Also note that if the parent was created with add_directory, then
alter_directory is denied (you should have created it with the correct
props).

And yes: you can call alter_directory on the parent before these various
child ops.

The goal is to avoid (say) altering a child, then deleting it by deleting
the parent.

Oh! I missed that thread. I was off in Kentucky...

You're right. I'll make the necessary changes. I'll respond on that thread
for future readers, too.
