What about dropping "BE" from all big-endian method names?
This would reduces the number of files to review in `java.io` to 0 (admittedly,
it's a rather mechanical review).
I know this would be less symmetrical, but...

Suggestion:
Preconditions.checkIndex(index, array.length - (Character.BYTES - 1),
Preconditions.AIOOBE_FORMATTER);
Similarly for all cases below.
