Thanks for the review, Jonathan!

In my tests I can read beyond the end address, but I cannot be sure if this is OK for all
devices. This was actually a suggestion from Wolfram for v1, but maybe I'm missing
something.
Wolfram, is it safe to read one byte beyond the end address or should I better use
only byte reads for odd lengths?

OK, I'll add this to the comment above:
"The addresses of the I2C slave device that are accessed with this function
must be mapped to a linear region, so that a block read will have the same
effect as a byte read."
Thanks,
