           Summary: std.intrinsic.bswap overloads

It would be nice with overloads for std.intrinsic.bswap for other types than
uint.

Ideally there should be functions for all basic (numeric only?) types >= 2
bytes.

That being said I could live with ushort,uint and ulong.

right now I have to do (x>>8 | x<<8) to bswap a ushort for example. with a
ulong it gets much more complicated.
