What about the Read() overloads? They currently work by passing a
variable by reference (in the C sense, by pointer), to an overload of
read. ISTM that it would be preferable to have variants with different
names that return variables by value. What do you think?

By the way, this isn't that much trouble. I've already finished with
the write() overloads. We're mostly using the inline wrapper functions
in sysSettings.
