/**
* Helper class to convert variables or bitstreams between machine
* endian and either big or little endian.
* Machine endian is the endianness used by the machine running the
* program and is one of big or little endian. As this is portable
* code, it is not known at coding time which it is. At compile time
* it is however, which is why this is implemented using compiler
* macros and translates to a copy operation at runtime.
*
* This changes the layout of multi-byte variables in the machine's
* memory. In most cases, you should not need to use this class.
* Probably what you are looking for is the SerializeAdapter.
* If you still decide you need this class, please read and understand
* the code first.
*
* The order of the individual bytes of the multi-byte variable is
* reversed, the byte at the highest address is moved to the lowest
* address and vice versa, same for the bytes in between.
*
* Note that the conversion is also its inversion, that is converting
* from machine to a specified endianness is the same operation as
* converting from specified to machine (I looked it up, mathematicians
* would call it an involution):
*
* X == convertBigEndian(convertBigEndian(X))
*
* Thus, there is only one function supplied to do the conversion.
