Generally we don't change the names of old functions that don't match the<br>
current style guidelines (there's *a lot* of code that predates the style<br>
guidelines, and this would cause a lot of churn).<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, it'd be nice to have in-place variants. I think something<br>
like `SwapByteOrderInPlace()` or `ReplaceByteOrder()` might work with the<br>
naming scheme in the file and minimize code churn.<br>

Anyone else have an opinion on this? Personally, I prefer Artyom's<br>
proposal (renaming `SwapByteOrder`).<br>
