Hi Bob, thanks for your reply. My primary interest is in 4 and 8 byte floats.
4 byte integers are of secondary interest.

If there is some existing combination of options which effect end-to-end
byte swap for 4 or 8 byte objects, I would be interested to hear about it.
But to the best of my knowledge there is no such combination,
hence the patch I posted.
