Here is a table showing the output from gmp_export given gmp_init( 0x0123456789ABCDEF ) and various inputs parameters on a little endian 64-bit platform.
NOTE that the underscores in the table are used to illustrate the separation between "word"s (which are either char, short, int, or long).

My conclusions and infrences:
* gmp_export appears to strips sign data as if calling gmp_abs( $gmp_resource )
* MSW might stand for Most Signifigant Word (order) as the most significant (highest digit) words come first.
\- A "word" is a numeric type (char, short, int, or long) determined by the $word_size parameter
* LSW might stand for Least Signifigant Word (order) as the least significant (lowest digit) words come first.
* endianness only matters when you are using a word size greater than 1 because, with a word size of 1, each byte is copied over. With a word size of 2, each short is copied over. 4 is int. When copying numbers larger than a byte, endianness does matter because it changes the order of the bytes within the size of the unit. A 2-byte short will have its bytes swapped depending upon the endianness, but the bits in each byte will remain the same.

This note was too long to post, so I had to move the code to make the above table to https://pastebin.com/gWLU4GF8
