[docs] [issue13498] os.makedirs exist_ok documentation is incorrect, as is some of the behavior

R. David Murray added the comment:

English-wise I would drop the "Also".

You say "differs from the one supplied", but given the rest of the text I would expect that it is really "differs from the supplied mode masked with the current umask, on systems where the mode is respected", which is a mouthful :(. 

Perhaps it would flow better if the discussion of exists_ok came after the discussion of mode (that is, as the last thing in the paragraph).
