The "destination first" convention is insane. It only makes sense for assignments, and these aren't assignments.

I agree.

But alas, sendfile(2) is defined as destination first:

ssize_t sendfile(int out_fd, int in_fd, off_t *offset, size_t count)

which begs the question, do we want to be different from sendfile(2), and confuse a segment of the programmer populace? :)
