There appears to be some tension between different conveniences you might afford yourself. If you have read(offset: offsetTypeForRead, address: addressTypeForRead), you can catch when someone accidentally passes an address where the offset should be and an offset where the address should be.

Or, you can say "hey, I'm always adding the offset to the address; it doesn't matter which one gets passed first" and relieve the programmer of needing to know the order in which two semantically distinct variables get passed to `read`.

But if you do provide that convenience -- and it's not unintuitive at all; there really is only one valid interpretation of a combination of an address and an offset, regardless of the order you mention them in -- you lose some of the safety that you wanted from the types. If your variables are declared correctly, everything is fine. If there's a mistake in declaring them, you'll wave through incorrect calls to `read` that would have been caught before.
