A short question:

It's not so simple with floating point types, just swapping bytes, or is it?
One has to swap all the bits or?
Interfaces.IEEE_Float_32 has 1 bit sign, 23 bit mantissa and 8 bit exponent,
Interfaces.IEEE_Float_64 has 1 bit sign, 52 bit mantissa and 11 bit exponent
when I remember correctly.
