i respectfully suggest, to matz, that this should not stand in the way.  this
issue has come up too many times to let naming stand in the way.  there is
little that an 'alias' might not solve at a later date.  something simple,
like prefacing every such io method with 'nb_' would, at the least, be easily
understood, even if inelegant.

kind regards.
