+  @brief  Convert pixel color order from string (e.g. "BGR") to NeoPixel
+          color order constant (e.g. NEO_BGR). This may be helpful for code
+          that initializes from text configuration rather than compile-time
+          constants.
+  @param   v  Input string. Should be reasonably sanitized (a 3- or 4-
+              character NUL-terminated string) or undefined behavior may
+              result (output is still a valid NeoPixel order constant, but
+              might not present as expected). Garbage in, garbage out.
+  @return  One of the NeoPixel color order constants (e.g. NEO_BGR).
+           NEO_KHZ400 or NEO_KHZ800 bits are not included, nor needed (all
+           NeoPixels actually support 800 KHz it's been found, and this is
+           the default state if no KHZ bits set).
+  @note    This function is declared static in the class so it can be called
+           without a NeoPixel object (since it's not likely been declared
+           in the code yet). Use Adafruit_NeoPixel::str2order().
