It deals only with integers in various sizes with specified endianness, because these are the most frequent applications.  Dealing with other kinds of binary data, such as floating-point numbers or variable-size integers would be natural extensions, but are left for a future SRFI.</p><h1>Specification</h1><h2>General remarks</h2><p>Blobs are objects of a new type.
