// Selectable endian handling. Endian handlers are used when accessing values
// that are of unknown (until runtime) endian.  The only requirement of the values
// accessed are that they are aligned to proper size boundaries (no misalignment.)
// To select an endian handler, one should call Endian::get_handler(big_endian);
// Where big_endian is true if big endian is required and false otherwise.  The
// native endian handler can be fetched with Endian::get_native_handler();
// To retrieve a value using the approprate endian, use one of the overloaded
// calls to get. To set a value, then use one of the overloaded set calls.
// Ex.
//      s4 value; // Imported value;
//      ...
//      Endian* endian = Endian::get_handler(true);  // Use big endian
//      s4 corrected = endian->get(value);
//      endian->set(value, 1);
