In the GVariant intro, mention lack of built-in endianness, and rationale
Presumably, the rationale for not storing the endianness is that
GVariant is a recursive type system, and in a sane format, endianness
only needs to be stored once per blob of data (once per D-Bus message,
once per file on disk, etc.).
