I thought of this more like a bug because it doesn't make sense to me
why there should be a function returning the string without swapping
the bytes first. So I didn't think of this as breaking the API, but
more like fixing a function that is not used because it produces
incorrect results.
Anyway, your explanation makes sense and I don't use this function so
I am totally ok with that.
