- Added two new from_string overloads to allow writing file contents while setting explicit boost::filesystem::perms - Ensures callers can both write file content and control file permissions in one operation. - Maintains consistency with existing from_string API by providing both error-code and exception-throwing variants.

I don't think it's a great idea to have 2 error code types, we should at least stanrdadize on the same type, that there are 2 parameters : why not. But it would be better there would be only one holding both codes and the function could just return early on error.
- return earlier in case of write error
