It will probably be deprecated, but at this time it isn't (there is no
alternative yet, anyway).

However I just realized that my idea for read() can't be implemented *that*
easy because it wouldn't work properly with EndianStream.
For that to work one would have to check whether T is a simple type (int,
float, double, long, etc) and in that case call fixBO() in EndianStream (like
the available, inconvenient read(<basic type>) methods in EndianStream already
do).

Or do it old school and provide readInt(), readUInt(), readLong(), readUlong(),
readFloat() etc instead of using a template.
