+ * |11110000| - 1 byte
+ * Integer encoded as 24 bit signed (3 bytes).
+ * |11111110| - 1 byte
+ * Integer encoded as 8 bit signed (1 byte).
+ * |1111xxxx| - (with xxxx between 0000 and 1101) immediate 4 bit integer.
+ * Unsigned integer from 0 to 12. The encoded value is actually from
+ * 1 to 13 because 0000 and 1111 can not be used, so 1 should be
+ * subtracted from the encoded 4 bit value to obtain the right value.
+ * |11111111| - End of ziplist.
+ *
+ * All the integers are represented in little endian byte order.
