I'm not convinced that the cost of having to define explicit big and
little endian properties for the hardware is worth having this - it
seems like a confusing thing to have in the interface since it depends
on both the device and the CPU and would presumably break in cases where
there's an option about which endianness to run things in.

What's the complexity here?
