I see not much of a difference between calling the function htonl()
and handling the statement expression.  In any case a synthetic
function has to be generated.  Therefore I strongly prefer #4 since
this is simply necessary to rectify the behavior.  The user should not
be exposed to such implementation details.

Alternatively we simply disable the optimizations for C++.
