    Okay... Have ~/bin/phonebook and I'd like it to be rw- to me, r-- to
    jarka and mj, and --- to everyone else. How do I do that without ACLs?
    Adding a group is root-only operation.

    This seems like a pretty common situation to me, and current solutions
    are not nice. [I guess ~/bin/ with --x and
    ~/bin/my-secret-password-only-jarka-and-mj-knows/phonebook would solve
    the problem, but...!]
