One of the comments i made last time was that wnr is not obvious. I
assume it means write-not-read. So why not just write? Since it a
boolean, i assume war is never needed, so !wnr cal always be
considered rnw.

And prote could well be protect, the two extra characters make it a
lot more obvious. Or better still.

nitpick, but please use positive logic. Do the protected case first.
