 * If the "reading" argument is set, this function finds out what _object_

 * has to exist, and if it is symbolic, it has to point at an existing ref,
 * because the "read" goes through the symref to the ref it points at.
 *
 * The access that is not "reading" may often be "writing", but does not
 * have to; it can be merely checking _where it leads to_. If it is a
 * prelude to "writing" to the ref, a write to a symref that points at
 * yet-to-be-born ref will create the real ref pointed by the symref.
 * reading=0 allows the caller to check where such a symref leads to.
