just found some code that says "'endian': True"

someone needs to ban programmers from booleans

@foone Which is worse: using a boolean with unclear meanings for true/false, or using a pointer to a boolean so you can treat null pointer as a distinct third value?

@WLivi @foone imo the second, but it's close

the first can be fixed by renaming the variable, the second is just bad no matter what

but consider, the worst of both worlds

endian = null
