I do mention a good deal of this in the blurb in part [0/2] of the patch, though I don't cover the readpage/readpages() debate. Ideally readpage() should do just that, read a page, based on the size of the page passed, and not assume "page" means "PAGESIZE." I can also make the "help" text for the option more descriptive if desired. Thanks for your comments!
