Progress: Begin fixing iki_read (and eki_read).

I noticed a lot of issues and fixed the problems on the 0.6 branch first.
This caused me to jump around back and forth a lot for the 0.7 branch.

This disoriented me.
I decided that I am going to commit this current state as a progress commit.
I will write the runtime tests for the 0.6 branch.
Then I will port those over to this.
Then I will use the runtime tests to help identify where I last was and what I need to change or finish changing.

The `--select` settings also need to be updated with regards to this.
