read-ahead is straightforward and has been done a few times under
different moons.  the server decides the policy and if gets it wrong
then you know who to blame.  write-ahead is more interesting and
has been done a few times (by pb and me at least) -  write-ahead
being an immediate Rwrite when you are the policy man.  (write errors
poison the chan so the next T* gets an Rerror.)  great for annoying
people by streaming video in the unix room.
