Hmm, that seems like a goof.

Maybe, but sometimes module X does more than one kind of
read/write/sync, and I'm not necessarily keen on merging things
together. The whole point of this is to be able to tell where you're
stuck in the code, and the more you merge related things together, the
less you can actually tell that.
