Well, I hadn't suggested having both BE and LE versions of views yet at
that point, but I don't think it matters there, either.  Introducing those
types won't automatically cause code to start using them--code that only
needs a particular endianness will still only need one.

But making the existing views always LE wouldn't increase the amount of
polymorphic calls at all, it'd just change the behavior of the existing
calls.
