It's not an issue in terms of effect, but using block calls in these
(and some other) cases seems more natural to me (when thinking in
terms of "this area depends on byte order, so it uses vector, and this
explicitly doesn't, so it uses block") and, in case of conditional
swapping, is (probably unnoticeably) more efficient. You should, of
course, do as you see fit:)

Best regards,
