    Creates a `BitArray` from the raw contents of the source array. The

    That means a particular care should be taken when passing an array

    be a multiple of `size_t.sizeof`, and secondly because how the bits

    The least significant bit in any `size_t` unit is the starting bit of this

    depending on the processor's endianness.

    Converts the given value from the native endianness to big endian and
    returns it as a `ubyte[n]` where `n` is the size of the given type.

    Returning a `ubyte[n]` helps prevent accidentally using a swapped value
    as a regular one (and in the case of floating point values, it's necessary,
    because the FPU will mess up any swapped floating point values. So, you
    can't actually have swapped floating point values as floating point values).

    `real` is not supported, because its size is implementation-dependent
    and therefore could vary from machine to machine (which could make it
    unusable if you tried to transfer it to another machine).
