      Implementation should follow the (10gen internal) spec defined here:

      https://wiki.10gen.com/display/10GEN/Driver+Read+Semantics

      PLEASE NOTE: The definition of SECONDARY is changing due to this spec. The SECONDARY option now means the same thing as SECONDARY_ONLY. A SECONDARY_PREFERRED option is being added that matches what SECONDARY used to do. SECONDARY_ONLY is deprecated in PyMongo 2.3.

      These are the new preferences and their meaning:

      "PRIMARY":
Read from primary only. All operations produce an error (throw an exception where applicable) if primary is unavailable. Cannot be combined with tags.

This is the default.

"PRIMARY_PREFERRED":
Read from primary if available, otherwise a secondary.

"SECONDARY":
Read from secondary if available, otherwise error.

"SECONDARY_ONLY" (deprecated):
Synonym for "SECONDARY"

"SECONDARY_PREFERRED":
Read from a secondary if available, otherwise read from the primary.

"NEAREST":
Read from any member.

      Also need to add better read preferences docs. A new examples page would probably be best.
