Logically they are different steps (query and response), even though the

it means either way.
Yes, but if you rename write() to query(), then on the helper side,
you'll have to call query() to send the response, and response() to read
the query. Much worse than keeping read/write.
Plus, read/write has already been used for a while in the C API, so I'd
rather keep the same names for the Perl equivalent.
