Hi all,

I have a personal project that uses the Endian utilities at `absl/base/internal/endian.h`. However, the visibility of the `//absl/base:endian` has been restricted.

These utilities are very useful, especially for working with binary data. What was the motivation for restricting the visibility of this library? Is there any chance these can be made part of the public API?

Best,
David

As the original author of endian.h, I've wondered the same myself. :)
