Well, yes, but in the sequence of:

>> remote_write

it is much more clear...
With a single "remote_write", you can't tell just by itself it that is
intended to be "it's a write *to* the remote", or "it's a write *by*
the remote". But when combined with other terms, only one makes sense
in all cases.
