Which tools require 452 lines of codes for a simple set of le/be wrappers? In other words - which tool will benefit from the addition speedup this amount of code gives? If I as a naive user look in unaligned.h I do not even see a prototype of the available methods. I am thrown to a directory with no less than 12 files. The le_direct.h´+ be_direct.h files seems unused. So again - why is it not enaough to provide only le_byteshift.h + the be counterpart?
