Right, I choose network order / big-endian. I agree that it would make
sense to emphasise this fact in the documentation below the examples.
Unfortunately I have no good reason for this particular design choice
other than "well this is how it is custom to represent numbers in a
consistent manner between different platforms but other than that the
choice was rather arbitrary". Should I just rephrase it a bit and add
to the documentation?
