You can't enforce that.  There is no provision for having a sticky bit
set on directory creation.

<something I wish the various UNIces could standardise on (which nobody
currently implements) is how to set a bit so that nobody can create
subdirectories in the current directory, but they could create and
delete files to their heart's content.  I thought set-uid on a
directory would be useful for that purpose.>
