I'm sorry.   The example copy-in-place example which read...

endian<big, double>* src = reinterpret_cast<endian<big, double>*>(mh +1);
double* dst = reinterpret_cast<double*>(src);
(void) copy(src, src+nElem, dst);  // Almost a no-op in the native, endian 
case.

... should have read...

endian<big, double>* src = reinterpret_cast<endian<big, double>*>(mh +1);
endian<native, double>* dst = reinterpret_cast<endian<native, 
double>*>(src);
(void) copy(src, src+nElem, dst);  // Almost a no-op in the native, endian 
case.

That is, for the copy() function to work, the destination must be in the 
form of an endian<> rather than a raw double pointer.

double* dst ==>  endian<native, double>* dst

Sorry for any confusion.
