		184
		185	If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will not double-encode
		186	values that have been referenced before (e.g. when the same object, such
		187	as an array, is referenced multiple times), but instead will emit a
		188	reference to the earlier value.
		189
		190	This means that such values will only be encoded once, and will not result
		191	in a deep cloning of the value on decode, in decoders supporting the value
		192	sharing extension.
		193
		194	It is recommended to leave it off unless you know your
		195	communication partner supports the value sharing extensions to CBOR
		196	(http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing).
		197
		198	Detecting shared values incurs a runtime overhead when values are encoded
		199	that have a reference counter large than one, and might unnecessarily
		200	increase the encoded size, as potentially shared values are encode as
		201	sharable whether or not they are actually shared.
		202
		203	At the moment, only targets of references can be shared (e.g. scalars,
		204	arrays or hashes pointed to by a reference). Weirder constructs, such as
		205	an array with multiple "copies" of the I<same> string, which are hard but
		206	not impossible to create in Perl, are not supported (this is the same as
		207	for L<Storable>).
		208
		209	If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will encode
		210	exception when it encounters anything it cannot encode as CBOR.
		211
		212	This option does not affect C<decode> in any way - shared values and
		213	references will always be decoded properly if present.

		219	If C<$enable> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will try not to encode
		220	the same string twice, but will instead encode a reference to the string
		221	instead. Depending on your data format. this can save a lot of space, but
		222	also results in a very large runtime overhead (expect encoding times to be
		223	2-4 times as high as without).
		224
		225	It is recommended to leave it off unless you know your

		630	=head1 TAG HANDLING AND EXTENSIONS
		631
		632	This section describes how this module handles specific tagged values
		633	and extensions. If a tag is not mentioned here and no additional filters
		634	are provided for it, then the default handling applies (creating a
		635	CBOR::XS::Tagged object on decoding, and only encoding the tag when
		636	explicitly requested).
		637
		638	Future versions of this module reserve the right to special case
		639	additional tags (such as base64url).
		640
		641	=head2 ENFORCED TAGS
		642
		643	These tags are always handled when decoding, and their handling cannot be
		644	overriden by the user.
		645
		646	=over 4
		647
		648	=item <unassigned> (perl-object, L<http://cbor.schmorp.de/perl-object>)
		649
		650	These tags are automatically created for serialisable objects using the
		651	C<FREEZE/THAW> methods (the L<Types::Serialier> object serialisation
		652	protocol).
		653
		654	=item <unassigned>, <unassigned> (sharable, sharedref, L <http://cbor.schmorp.de/value-sharing>)
		655
		656	These tags are automatically decoded when encountered, resulting in
		657	shared values in the decoded object. They are only encoded, however, when
		658	C<allow_sharable> is enabled.
		659
		660	=item <unassigned>, <unassigned> (stringref-namespace, stringref, L <http://cbor.schmorp.de/stringref>)
		661
		662	These tags are automatically decoded when encountered. They are only
		663	encoded, however, when C<allow_stringref> is enabled.
		664
		665	=item 22098 (indirection, L<http://cbor.schmorp.de/indirection>)
		666
		667	This tag is automatically generated when a reference are encountered (with
		668	the exception of hash and array refernces). It is converted to a reference
		669	when decoding.
		670
		671	=item 55799 (self-describe CBOR, RFC 7049)
		672
		673	This value is not generated on encoding (unless explicitly requested by
		674	the user), and is simply ignored when decoding.
		675
		676	=back
		677
		678	=head2 OPTIONAL TAGS
		679
		680	These tags have default filters provided when decoding. Their handling can
		681	be overriden by changing the C<%CBOR::XS::FILTER> entry for the tag, or by
		682	providing a custom C<filter> function when decoding.
		683
		684	When they result in decoding into a specific Perl class, the module
		685	usually provides a corresponding C<TO_CBOR> method as well.
		686
		687	When any of these need to load additional modules that are not part of the
		688	perl core distribution (e.g. L<URI>), it is (currently) up to the user to
		689	provide these modules. The decoding usually fails with an exception if the
		690	required module cannot be loaded.
		691
		692	=over 4
		693
		694	=item 2, 3 (positive/negative bignum)
		695
		696	These tags are decoded into L<Math::BigInt> objects. The corresponding
		697	C<Math::BigInt::TO_CBOR> method encodes "small" bigints into normal CBOR
		698	integers, and others into positive/negative CBOR bignums.
		699
		700	=item 4, 5 (decimal fraction/bigfloat)
		701
		702	Both decimal fractions and bigfloats are decoded into L<Math::BigFloat>
		703	objects. The corresponding C<Math::BigFloat::TO_CBOR> method I<always>
		704	encodes into a decimal fraction.
		705
		706	CBOR cannot represent bigfloats with I<very> large exponents - conversion
		707	of such big float objects is undefined.
		708
		709	Also, NaN and infinities are not encoded properly.
		710
		711	=item 21, 22, 23 (expected later JSON conversion)
		712
		713	CBOR::XS is not a CBOR-to-JSON converter, and will simply ignore these
		714	tags.
		715
		716	=item 32 (URI)
		717
		718	These objects decode into L<URI> objects. The corresponding
		719	C<URI::TO_CBOR> method again results in a CBOR URI value.
