Hi Thomas,

thanks for the usefull hint. Yes, with float and double this will work. With
char it is also possible to do some bits operations (just looking at
ByteBuffer source). But the general idea is to not reinvent the wheel. I'm
pretty sure everyone who deals with some custom protocol needs those methods
and its not good to reinvent the wheel.

Btw may be I should create a feature request in JIRA?

Regards
