A single transaction begins, which is to emit a series of INSERT, UPDATE, and 
SELECT statements.   Are you proposing that this system in fact produce two 
separate transactions on two separate backends, and deliver the SELECT 
statements to the slave?   That approach isn’t feasible - SELECTs are part of a 
“write” transaction just as much as the other statements are (as they can be 
SELECTing locally uncommitted data), as they deliver data which is part of the 
transactional context as well as intended for those DML statements.   
Otherwise, by what system could this read/write be “transparent”?    
reader/writer has to be at the transaction level, not the statement level, and 
without an up-front declaration as to whether a transaction is to be reader or 
writer, it’s not possible.
