Yeah, read-write is tricky since I don't know how parallel writers
handle sequence numbers or message flags w/o stepping over each other.
Write-to-temp-file-then-rename means one of the renamers loses...

Read-only is more likely, maybe...  I fear I'm too drain bamaged :<
And whatever gets added ends up being support a burden forever.
