Dear Vincent,

thanks for working on this proposal.

You're welcome.

This can't be right, since it ignores the bitSize. In fact, from bSwapDefault 1 = 1 one could conclude that the datatype is 1 byte wide. bSwapDefault (bSwapDefault 256) = 1 shows that bSwapDefault is not its own inverse.

You're absolutely right. not sure what i was thinking when i did the patch to base after thinking it was not possible to do it without a fixed size. The function above just fall apart if the "highest" bit is not set. I'll rework this to depends on FiniteBits. -- Vincent
