    Hello hackers...

    Macros in attached patch are designed for doing life a little easier.

    If one is using strictly defined types as uint8_t, uint16_t, int32_t, etc.
    those macros are helpful IMHO, because futher value size changes does not
    affects code for byte order managing. This also does not hit perfromance,
    because this should be resolved at compile-time.

    I'm not sure if dedicated epanic() is the best way to implement out-of-range
    errors prevention - the more handy solution should cause compile error.
