//   - an extension point like CBOR tag.
//   - a subset of CBOR major type 7 that isn't floating-point.
//   - "identified by a number between 0 and 255, but distinct from that number itself".
//     For example, "a simple value 2 is not equivalent to an integer 2" as a CBOR map key.
//
// CBOR simple values identified by 20..23 are: "false", "true" , "null", and "undefined".
// Other CBOR simple values are currently unassigned/reserved by IANA.
