Which tools require 452 lines of codes for a simple set of
le/be wrappers?
In other words - which tool will benefit from the addition speedup
this amount of code gives?

If I as a naive user look in unaligned.h I do not even see
a prototype of the available methods. I am thrown to a directory
with no less than 12 files.

The le_direct.h´+ be_direct.h files seems unused.

So again - why is it not enaough to provide only le_byteshift.h
+ the be counterpart?
