Endianness in Javascript

I just needed to determine endianness from Javascript; this is needed because ArrayBuffer and associated classes operate directly upon memory buffers, which is great when you want to slurp in some binary data without the overhead of JSON-conversion, but does imply an endianness dependency.

I probably could have just ignored the question (at the expense of all my Alpha-powered users), but I'm OCD enough to write the check.

function littleEndian() {
  var buf = new ArrayBuffer(4);
  var bytes = new Uint8Array(buf);
  var words = new Uint32Array(buf);
  bytes[0] = 1;
  return words[0] == 1; // little-endian
}

But I can't test it.
