/*
 * All cbor_encode_* methods take 2 or 3 arguments:
 * - a logical `value` to encode (except for trivial items such as NULLs)
 * - an output `buffer` pointer
 * - a `buffer_size` specification
 *
 * They serialize the `value` into one or more bytes and write the bytes to the
 * output `buffer` and return either the number of bytes written, or 0 if the
 * `buffer_size` was too small to small to fit the serialized value (in which
 * case it is not modified).

/** Encodes a half-precision float
 *
 * Since there is no native representation or semantics for half floats
 * in the language, we use single-precision floats, as every value that
 * can be expressed as a half-float can also be expressed as a float.
 *
 * This however means that not all floats passed to this function can be
 * unambiguously encoded. The behavior is as follows:
 *  - Infinity, NaN are preserved
 *  - Zero is preserved
 *  - Denormalized numbers keep their sign bit and 10 most significant bit of
 * the significand
 *  - All other numbers
 *   - If the logical value of the exponent is < -24, the output is zero
 *   - If the logical value of the exponent is between -23 and -14, the output
 *     is cut off to represent the 'magnitude' of the input, by which we
 *     mean (-1)^{signbit} x 1.0e{exponent}. The value in the significand is
 * lost.
 *   - In all other cases, the sign bit, the exponent, and 10 most significant
 * bits of the significand are kept
