In related area, maybe it's time to introduce a new set of standard
macros to endian.h, since "network" and "host" isn't a sufficient set of
orders anymore, and we now need "un-network" (for msdosfs, at least, and
probably for other things like ntfs, hpfs, etc., if we ever get them)
and maybe "un-host".
