P.S.: there is nothing wrong with calling little-endian wrong or
perverted or fucked-up ;-)

I don't know if I trust you here -- you wrote "bug endian" just a few
lines up ;-)

Damned laptop keyboards! U and I keys are just too close from each
other;-) Apart from this, if you look up some archives, you'll certainly
find that I think, live and breathe big-endianly ;-) (bit 0 is the most
significant bit, period)

Although I prefer big endian myself, I don't like counting bits in the `wrong'
direction ;-) Hence bit 0 is always the least significant bit.
