@TheRealMDoerr `ByteArrayLittleEndian` only means that the input 
long/int/short/char will be seen as little-endian when written to a byte array; 
do you mean that assuming little-endian writes are faster is too 
platform-specific?

An alternative approach tried before is to pack the digits 
platform-specifically and use Unsafe (which bypasses platform-endianness 
reversals) to write directly; I recall it was rejected before, for using unsafe 
directly seems... unsafe :)
