Yes, that idea came to me also shortly after pressing "Send". ;)

I assume the data is simply ordered like a native integer. So on
little-endian it is lowest byte first.

correct.  Things are a little more complicated if the integer size is not a
multiple of 8, but I don't think you are interested in this case.

Ciao, Duncan.

Actually I would also like to know that case (as I support odd sizes).
If this is too complicated though I would just extend them to the next
power of 2 before calling the function.
