I was doing some interviews and I got to talking about some of my FOSS contributions in one of them and this library came up. The interviewer asked me if the information provided also provided the endianess. So it begs the question, could there be some value in provided endianess alongside the OS, version, and bitness?

It seems to me that it is often needed to determine the endianness at compile time (to perform some conditional compilation) and Rust already provides that by the target_endian feature. I think that this library can only add some convenience by providing the information in a human-readable fashion. Would it be useful to someone? I'm not sure. Let's leave this issue open for other opinions.

Sounds like a plan to me!
