+Msgpack-c implementation powers the c, c++, python, ruby, etc libraries.
+We need to maintain compatibility with it and how it encodes integer values
+without caring about the type.
+
+For compatibility with behaviour of msgpack-c reference implementation:
+  - Go intX (>0) and uintX
+       IS ENCODED AS
+    msgpack +ve fixnum, unsigned
+  - Go intX (<0)
+       IS ENCODED AS
