Why would you expect little endian to be the default? The typical thing to
do when encoding integral values in a platform-agnostic manner is to use big
endian, not little endian. Either way, it supports both big endian and
little endian, so if your use case requires little endian, you can do that.
You just have to specifiy the endianness, and if you find that to be too
verbose, you can create a wrapper to use in your own code.
