PS8: 
What I mentioned to Thomas offline once: We could also add
an offset parameter. e.g.

uint32_t read_le32(const void *src, size_t offset);

This would have the benefit that the reader would always see
that the offset is in bytes. For instance, consider these two
calls:

uint32_t *buf, val;
    ...
    val = read_le32(buf + 3);
    val = read_le32(buf, 12);

They are supposed to do the same. But in the first case we
need to have pointer-arithmetic in mind to see it. The second
case would always be the same, no matter the type of `buf`.
