That's where I would go with an enum. "if (algo_endian ==
ALGO_ENDIAN_LITTLE) ..."

Right, it's really a question of where do we want readability? I was
focusing on the call site, since the context isn't there for newcomers to

Like I said, it's a nit. Either a self-documenting bool, or an enum
will work.
