Call it "opposite" endian and we have a deal :-)
It is not "wrong" to have UTF-16 BE strings on a Little Endian
machine, nor vice-versa, nor is it as unusual as one might think.
Sure, it's simple enough to write workaround code, but it should be
built-in (at least marginally correct BOM support). For the
inevitable question/suggestion that follows, the answer is "yes I
have" about 3 years ago, report ID is 'cojoobka'. At least it's been
evaluated :-)
My ElfData plugin does byte order swapping, and BOM detection, for
Mac, PC and Linux.
If you don't need the speed, a memoryblock always does the trick, and
is easy enough to byte-swap with, although BOM detection is a little
more complex.
