   ROOT is essentially (50%, Rene  correct me)  the package to read/write ROOT files
   Another way to asking your question "whether someone can  write his our package called 
   "ROOT"  that will be still "file" compatible  with the original  ROOT"

   Why not
   One team wrote this package why another team can not.
   Another question why do you need it ,  whether it worth to try ?

  With my best regards, Valeri
