Yeah, that was my assumption too.

I'm thinking a readx/writex that take an iovec and flags.
Then all the previous interfaces can be implemented internally in
terms of readx/writex (p/non-p as a flag, non-iovec as a
single synthesised iovec, etc) if worthwhile.
Worth thinking ahead of what other flags we might want, and what they
might imply for the interface of the new iovec structure...
