This change allows you do simply deal with the abstract
UTF16
, instead of big-endian vs. little-endian variants (which only is an issue when you have to store them into bytes).For example, next will return a Char, not a sequence of bytes, so you can write a function that handles UTF16 encoding, and pass it something that is UTF16OE, and it will handle the byte-swapping for you.
