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
(Europeans write little-endian dd/mm/yy, and Japanese use big-endian
yy/mm/dd for Western dates).
