... I was already wondering about the choice of function signatures:

What is the rationale (or precedent) for these and not
T endian::reorder(T);
?
If sin(theta) returns its result, why shouldn't reorder(val) do so too?
I've implemented your suggestion, run various tests, looked at the generated code, and tried various uses cases. Bottom line: I think you are right and will change conversion.hpp accordingly. Thanks, --Beman
