Wrong only in that the more-significant half comes out before the
less-significant half.  This is "wrong" only if you care about the
structure of a double as stored in memory, which many programs don't
(the major exception that comes to mind being dev tools generating
precomputed nonzero values).

It is, at least, called out in the documentation, though that's kind of
"be grateful for small favours". :/
