yes, at some point I had to go from rare-write to write-rare because I 
realized that the acronym "rw" was likely to be interpreted as "read/write"

I propose to keep prmem for the time being, just to avoid adding extra 
changes that are not functional.
Once the code has somewhat settled down, I can proceed with the 
renaming. In the meanwhile, a better name could be discussed.

For example, would "prmemory" be sufficiently unambiguous?
