Description
"humility readmem" has some usability issues: it reads 256 bytes by default (which is often not what one wants); if a read is partially valid, it doesn't do the partial read; and when "-w" is specified, there isn't an easy way to specify the number of words.

Research direction
Start by locating the humility readmem command and run its current help or examples to understand the existing arguments. Review how the default 256-byte read, partially valid reads, and -w word-count handling are implemented. Done means the command supports more useful defaults, performs valid partial reads, and offers an easy way to specify the number of words.
