// Package readonly implements a filter that enforces read-only accesses to
// services.
//
// This can be useful in hybrid environments where one cluster wants to read
// from a cache-backed datastore, but cannot modify the cache, so reads are safe
// and direct, but writes would create a state where the cached values are
// invalid.
//
// This happens when mixing AppEngine datastore/memcache with Cloud Datastore
// readers.
