I think it's a good idea too.  I can't see the sense in those bread,
bwrite etc. names though.  Why not simply read, write etc.?  bfd_bread
and bfd_bwrite were added when I needed to make changes to bfd_read
and bfd_write, but thought it a good idea to keep the old functions
for backward compatibility.  Let's not perpetuate silly names.
Hmm, unless some system #define's read, write etc.
