I think we're overloading the meaning of "read param", possibly because
I don't understand the arguments to the _partial functions.

Select is actually ordered:
- input parameter
- four in/out parameters

But let's drop it. I don't care how you order target_read_partial; it
has so many arguments I'll have to go look it up every time anyway.
