    <thetext>write-neutralized is a horrible, horrible name

I can&apos;t spell it.  I can&apos;t type it.  Our poor innocent non-native english speaker contributors don&apos;t know what it means.

Other, better names:
write-disabled
write-ignored
ignore-writes
disable-write</thetext>

    <thetext>Even worse that &quot;neutralized&quot; is spelled different in American vs. British english.

Please change the name. :)</thetext>
