/**
* NativeNumericData and ReversedNumericData work together to provide a sneaky
* interface for automatically byte-swapping numbers, when necessary, to
* transparency support big-endian and little-endian architectures.
*
* Both of these classes provide interfaces that accept a pointer to a numeric
* variable and the size of the number, and they can append that data to the
* end of a string, or memcpy it into another location.
*
* The difference is that NativeNumericData simply passes everything through
* unchanged, while ReversedNumericData always byte-swaps everything.
* Otherwise, they have the same interface.
*
* The transparent part comes from LittleEndian and BigEndian, which are
* typedeffed to be one of these or the other, according to the machine's
* architecture.
