Goals Users can select which endian to use to interpret these raw bits in integer form
Non-Goals i.d.k. there is just 2 endian on the world.

Implementation Guide
Maybe you can just use a byte_swap(void* begin, void* end) to convert the input to native endian representation.
Goals
According to Implementation Guide mentioned,
Add a Native Endian(LE or BE) in the selection list
Just putting in another voice that this would be very helpful!
Necroing to mention that this would still be helpful.
