I just need to find the right place to file it. Did some research on 
WASM today and found it is designed for LE only. I've also found some 
bug reports that bring up issues related to BE and it always comes back 
to not supported and road blocked. So if I don't want to file YABEI (yet 
another big endian issue) that gets an immediate won't fix. I just need 
to find the right place place and/or way to describe it to be accepted.

I could see why. At this point in the game, making use of compiler 
attributes like GCC to mark scalar byte order are looking good, even if 
it would look like a hack. But, since code these days relies on CPU 
specific byte order and clean portable code is a relic of the past, such 
compiler dependent features are looking good to me.
