Actually, there are more than five in that list - there are three in the first
item - and I'm not sure the remaining categories are quite as well defined as
I made it seem.

Also, that sort of categorisation might not be what we actually need: it might
end up coming down to a no-write vs no-read-or-write split instead.

In that case, I'll leave it as is for the moment.  It doesn't introduce so
many calls that they're impossible to change.
