middle-endian adj. Not {big-endian} or
{little-endian}. Used of perverse byte orders such as 3-4-1-2
or 2-1-4-3, occasionally found in the packed-decimal formats of
minicomputer manufacturers who shall remain nameless. See {NUXI
problem}. Non-US hackers use this term to describe the American
mm/dd/yy style of writing dates.
