Yes, but the Java bindings can use brlapi__write.
The C API has to care to
- provide convenient C functions for end-programmers
- provide powerful functions for bindings
I don't think we want to add a plethora of functions that
end-programmers won't use anyway, while a single powerful function is
enough for all binding needs.
