Hi Christoph, Sure I think it would be a good idea to shorten the name. And yes, although I just construct the iterator to pass into perform_write, I think it should make sense to go much further up the call stack instead of passing all those args around. iodesc seems like a fine name, so I'll use that unless anyone objects.
