Name it as `with_slice_in_page` maybe?

Use a slice like type as `src` maybe? Then the function can be safe:

	pub fn write<S: AsRef<[u8]>>(&self, src: S, offset: usize) -> Result

Besides, since `Page` impl `Sync`, shouldn't this `write` and the
`fill_zero` be a `&mut self` function? Or make them both `unsafe`
because of potential race and add some safety requirement?
