Honestly, I'm not entirely happy with this patch. It seems to add
unnecessary churn without addressing an actual need. Since we're
operating in the same endianness domain, I don't think there is
requirement for an endianness conversion here.

On one hand, I want to give credit to Atharva for his effort; on
the other hand, I think the real solution would be to just remove
the comments altogether.

I'm going to hold off for now and wait for additional feedback.
If no further comments come in, I'll likely drop this patch.
