Following the recent successful vote of the RFC adding the support for endianness modifiers on integers, I'd like to present the natural continuation of it. It will complete the support of endianness modifiers across relevant format letters of pack()/unpack(). Here is the RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/pack-unpack-float-endianness-modifier

Thank you for the RFC. This sounds like a straight-forward follow-up for the previous RFC. The only comment I have would be that it would make sense to list deprecating g, G, e, and E as a Future Scope option to further align the behavior with Perl, which doesn't support g, G, e, E. It is not necessary or expected that everything from Future Scope is done, it is just a list of things that would be possible as a follow-up, deferring figuring out the details to a later point.
