Platform specific performance enhancements such as use of compiler intrinsics or relaxed alignment requirements should be supported.::
Done. Compiler (Clang, GCC, Visual{cpp}, etc.) intrinsics and built-in

Endian integer (and floating) types should be implemented via the conversion functions. If that can't be done efficiently, consideration should be given to expanding the conversion function signatures to resolve the inefficiencies.::
Done. For the endian types, the implementation uses the endian conversion
functions, and thus the intrinsics, as requested.

There is some concern that endian integer/float arithmetic operations might used inadvertently or inappropriately. The impact of adding an endian_buffer class without arithmetic operations should be investigated.::
Done. The endian types have been decomposed into class template
`<<buffers,endian_buffer>>` and class template
`<<arithmetic,endian_arithmetic>>`. Class `endian_buffer` is a public base
class for `endian_arithmetic`, and can also be used by users as a stand-alone
class.
