Folks,

I've added a small utility in boost/ggl/util/endian.hpp.
It is ggl::endian namespace with endian_value template class which is
used to read/write numeric values from/to stream of bytes across
different combinations of source/target endianness.

I'm using it to implement operations on Well-Known-Binary geometries.

I hope it's OK to include it in utils.
Here I put a small example of usage of the endian_value:

in module endian, file endian_example.cpp.

Best regards,
