How a sandboxed macOS application may reach files the user chooses.

com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write and its read-only sibling are two different entitlements, and neither is a yes/no: an application can ask for write access, for read access, or for nothing at all. A boolean cannot say which of the two it wants, which is why this is an enum – expressing it as one would have made ON mean “some access, builder’s choice” and OFF silently drop the read-write access that is the default.
