I just don't see the value of RDict. It's read interface right now is grotesque (requires a lot of code and knowing a lot of almost magic names, thus it gets copy-pasted). I'd mainly prefer a nicer read interface, but if we redo the read interface, I'd rather it come from a human readable source. And less duplication is better.
