I suspect it is no more portable than determining storage order by using
'int i = 256', then writing in storage order, and has the disadvantage that
it may break as discussed.
AFAICT, using storage order will not break under any circumstances within
one OS/architecture (unlike using shift), and will not break any more often
than using shift in cases where off_t is integral.
