Taking the example of the AMF Set ID, the previous version of the macro
used another macro to encode the number, then marked the last 6 bits in
the bit string (of length 16/2 bytes) as unused. This is wrong, because,
assuming AMF Set ID=3, it basically truncates the number by encoding all
16 bits and cutting off the last 6, like this:
------------------- encode 16 bits
0000 0000 0000 0011
------------ take these 10 bits
So what remains is these bit positions of the number:
(16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7) -- the last 6 bits are cut (and the first 6
are either 0 or garbage, because they don't exist).
Instead, manually encode bits (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3) in the first byte, and
(2,1) in the second byte of the bit string, like so:
------------ encode 10 bits
0000 0000 1100 0000
------------ take these 10 bits
Do the same with the pointer.
The AMF Region ID above is correct, as it is exactly 8 bits.
