Um, hate to sound snotty, but how do you know this? Have you, for instance,
implemented one? 

It's very possible that this might be true. But I wouldn't taken it for a
given. There may well be very good reasons why the FullWrite code is the way
it is. There are some programs that I've seen that simply can't segment
cleanly. And there may be other factors you aren't aware of.
