     40   ReinterpretCtr uses memcpy to map back and forth
     41   between a CBRNG's ctr_type and the specified ToType.  For example,
     42   after:
     43 
     44     typedef ReinterpretCtr<r123array4x32, Philox2x64> G;
     45 
     46   G is a bona fide CBRNG with ctr_type r123array4x32.
     47 
     48   WARNING:  ReinterpretCtr is endian dependent.  The
     49   values returned by G, declared as above,
     50   will depend on the endianness of the machine on which it runs.
