 * @ingroup     sys
 *
 * @brief CBOR serializer/deserializer
 *
 * This is an implementation suited for constrained devices
 * Characteristics:
 * - No dynamic memory allocation (i.e. no calls to `malloc()`, `free()`) used
 *   throughout the implementation
 * - User may allocate static buffers, this implementation uses the space
 *   provided by them (cf. @ref cbor_stream_t)
 *
 * # Supported types (categorized by major type (MT))
 *
 * - Major type 0 (unsigned integer): Full support. Relevant functions:
 *   - cbor_serialize_int(), cbor_deserialize_int()
 *   - cbor_serialize_uint64_t(), cbor_deserialize_uint64_t()
 *
 * - Major type 1 (negative integer): Full support. Relevant functions:
 *   - cbor_serialize_int(), cbor_deserialize_int()
 *   - cbor_serialize_int64_t(), cbor_deserialize_int64_t()
 *
 * - Major type 2 (byte string): Full support. Relevant functions:
 *   - cbor_serialize_byte_string(), cbor_deserialize_byte_string()
 *
 * - Major type 3 (unicode string): Basic support (see below). Relevant functions:
 *   - cbor_serialize_unicode_string(), cbor_deserialize_unicode_string()
 *
 * - Major type 4 (array of data items): Full support. Relevant functions:
 *   - cbor_serialize_array(), cbor_deserialize_array()
 *   - cbor_serialize_array_indefinite(), cbor_deserialize_array_indefinite(),
 *     cbor_at_break()
 *
 * - Major type 5 (map of pairs of data items): Full support. Relevant functions:
 *   - cbor_serialize_map(), cbor_deserialize_map()
 *   - cbor_serialize_map_indefinite(), cbor_deserialize_map_indefinite(),
 *     cbor_at_break()
 *
 * - Major type 6 (optional semantic tagging of other major types): Basic
 *   support (see below). Relevant functions:
 *   - cbor_write_tag()
 *   - cbor_deserialize_date_time()
 *   - cbor_serialize_date_time()
 *
 * - Major type 7 (floating-point numbers and values with no content): Basic
 *   support (see below). Relevant functions:
 *   - cbor_serialize_float_half(), cbor_deserialize_float_half()
 *   - cbor_serialize_float(), cbor_deserialize_float()
 *   - cbor_serialize_double(), cbor_deserialize_double()
 *   - cbor_serialize_bool(), cbor_deserialize_bool()
 *
 * ## Notes about major type 3
 * Since we do not have a standardised C type for representing Unicode code
 * points, we just provide API to serialize/deserialize `char` arrays. The
 * user then has to transform that into a meaningful representation
 *
 * ## Notes about major type 6
 * Encoding date and time: date/time strings that follow the standard format
 * described in
 * [RFC3339, section 5.6](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#section-5.6):
 *
 * |             Date/Time string | Support       |
 * | ---------------------------: | :------------ |
 * |         2003-12-13T18:30:02Z | supported     |
 * |      2003-12-13T18:30:02.25Z | not supported |
 * |    2003-12-13T18:30:02+01:00 | not supported |
 * | 2003-12-13T18:30:02.25+01:00 | not supported |
 *
 * Since we do not have C types for representing
 * bignums/bigfloats/decimal-fraction we do not provide API to
 * serialize/deserialize them at all. You can still read out the actual data
 * item behind the tag (via cbor_deserialize_byte_string()) and interpret it
 * yourself.
 *
 * @see [RFC7049, section 2.4](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049#section-2.4)
 *
 * # Notes about major type 7 and simple values
 * Simple values:
 *
 * | Simple value types      | Support                                                        |
 * | :---------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------- |
 * |   0-19: (Unassigned)    | not supported                                                  |
 * |  20,21: True, False     | supported (see cbor_serialize_bool(), cbor_deserialize_bool()) |
 * |  22,23: Null, Undefined | not supported (what's the use-case?)                           |
 * |  24-31: (Reserved)      | not supported                                                  |
 * | 32-255: (Unassigned)    | not supported                                                  |
