I'm not that happy the name too and certainly open for better
suggestions I could use instead of read/write.

The alternatives I can think of are not very nice either:

 (1) get/set -- same problem as read/write.
 (2) make_foo() instead of write_foo() -- "make" is too generic IMHO.
 (3) create_foo() instead of write_foo() -- no nice symmetric
     replacement for read_foo().

better ideas anyone?
