Why are only big and little native endianness supported?

These are the only endian schemes that have any practical value today. PDP-11 -and the other middle endian approaches are interesting historical curiosities -but have no relevance to today's C++ developers. The +and the other middle endian approaches are interesting curiosities +but have no relevance for today's C++ developers. The same is true for +architectures that allow runtime endianness switching. The specification for native -ordering has been carefully crafted to allow support for other -orderings in the future, should the need arise. Thanks to Howard Hinnant for -suggesting draft standarese.

Why do both the buffer and arithmetic types exist?
