Can you add a test showing how (and testing that) this works and would be used? You can put them alongside the other bitfields tests in tests/
. Also, can you add documentation somewhere detailing how this can be used? Thanks!

Also, can you refactor all 3 (the 2 below changes, too) of these same computations into some helper function?

Should it only check for big
or should it have to be big
, little
, or nothing?

endian could be an enum, and if it had a default, this could be .unwrap_or_default()
. (I lack the context here to understand whether a default endianness makes sense at all; gut says no).

Handle big endian data on little endian CPU.
Useful for dealing with network data.
