k, reading again after some thinking, you are actually wishing to get all the low-level functions exported.
mode flags etc need to be translated though (or restricted), but anyways...
that's an option, too.
question arises, who is gonna use it then.
I know I would, but as an example, it would take week or two for our mods to study how to use it
talk about normal users then...

anyways, it indeed sounds better to have these methods.
but for normal read&write operations, it's zillion times faster to use (I say the word again) bulk access.
it takes around 80ms to access a method via com interface.
so, taking an example and writing 1k file with say, 256 byte blocks takes a heck of a time.
suddenly, even though the idea sounds good, it's lot better and faster to load even 10M file to kixtart array and manipulate that than direct manipulation.
