Detailed Description

A handler for accessing bytes of a word.

Often individual bytes of a word are handled by bit shifting e.g.

Mp3WriteRegister(SCI_MODE, ((MP3SCI_MODE >> 8) & 0xFF), (MP3SCI_MODE & 0xFF) );

This may lead to excessive shifts and worse; signed carries of the second shift, If the casting is not correct. This union allows a more efficient and simpler method to directly access the individual bytes of the word. And is convienent for handeling Endian issues. Where byte[0..1] can be assigned specific endian and the word (aka uint16_t) can be used.
