23 * NativeNumericData and ReversedNumericData work together to provide a sneaky
24 * interface for automatically byte-swapping numbers, when necessary, to
25 * transparency support big-endian and little-endian architectures.
26 *
27 * Both of these classes provide interfaces that accept a pointer to a numeric
28 * variable and the size of the number, and they can append that data to the
29 * end of a string, or memcpy it into another location.
30 *
31 * The difference is that NativeNumericData simply passes everything through
32 * unchanged, while ReversedNumericData always byte-swaps everything.
33 * Otherwise, they have the same interface.
34 *
35 * The transparent part comes from LittleEndian and BigEndian, which are
36 * typedeffed to be one of these or the other, according to the machine's
37 * architecture.
