> Currently Decimal128 and Decimal256's fields are exclusively in littleendian order, which can yield surprising results when {{reinterpret_cast}}ing entries of a buffer to {{Decimal128*}} on a bigendian platform, see https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9554
> These utility classes will be more useful if they are always usable from a buffer without swizzling.
