An analogy is [`ConcurrentHashMap::forEach(BiConsumer)`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/24/docs/api/java.base/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentHashMap.html#methods-inherited-from-class-java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap): this method is [overridden in `ConcurrentHashMap`](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/jdk24/src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentHashMap.java#L1613) but is described by Javadoc as "Methods declared in interface java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap".

`@inheritDoc` sounds good to me.

This is better than using `ByteBuffer.getLong()`, which uses the current byte ordering instead of big endian.
