I wouldn't expect many developers would need to be concerned with the 
platform endianness, it's more likely going to be something advanced, 
maybe a high performance library or something interaction with the 
native code or the platform. So it would be just a convenience, you can 
already can use ByteOrder.nativeOrder()  and test if it returns BIG or 
LITTLE_ENDIAN.
