Hm… I’m having second thoughts about uiopeek(), as well. It implies a direction (“peek” feels like “read”, and “write” would feel more like a “poke”). I think uiocopy() is a better name, and I think it is sufficiently different from uiomove() (“move” implies a sort of destructive-ness that “copy” does not).
