One more:

I've re-written the docstring to writefile(), trying to make it clearer,

I've added this comment to the confusing case at the end of the docstring.


     If `start` is specified and the file doesn't exist or is shorter
     than `start`, the data in the file before `start` file will be
     undefined.

     XXX: What about raising an exception if you try to write a new file
          starting not at 0, or try to write a file starting after its
          end point?
