 If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<decode> will throw an error
 when it encounters a self-referential/cyclic data structure.
+FUTURE DIRECTION: the motivation behind this option is to avoid I<real>
+cycles - future versions of this module might chose to decode cyclic data
+structures using weak references when this option is off, instead of
+throwing an error.
 This option does not affect C<encode> in any way - shared values and

+If C<$enabled> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will encode all
+perl hash keys as CBOR text strings/UTF-8 string, upgrading them as needed.
+If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will encode hash keys
+normally - upgraded perl strings (strings internally encoded as UTF-8) as
+CBOR text strings, and downgraded perl strings as CBOR byte strings.
+This option does not affect C<decode> in any way.
+This option is useful for interoperability with CBOR decoders that don't
+treat byte strings as a form of text. It is especially useful as Perl
+gives very little control over hash keys.
+Enabling this option can be slow, as all downgraded hash keys that are
+encoded need to be scanned and converted to UTF-8.
+=item $cbor = $cbor->text_strings ([$enable])
+=item $enabled = $cbor->get_text_strings
+This option works similar to C<text_keys>, above, but works on all strings
+(including hash keys), so C<text_keys> has no further effect after
+enabling C<text_strings>.
+If C<$enabled> is true (or missing), then C<encode> will encode all perl
+strings as CBOR text strings/UTF-8 strings, upgrading them as needed.
+If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<encode> will encode strings
+normally (but see C<text_keys>) - upgraded perl strings (strings
+internally encoded as UTF-8) as CBOR text strings, and downgraded perl
+strings as CBOR byte strings.
+This option does not affect C<decode> in any way.
+This option has similar advantages and disadvantages as C<text_keys>. In
+addition, this option effectively removes the ability to encode byte
+strings, which might break some C<FREEZE> and C<TO_CBOR> methods that rely
+on this, such as bignum encoding, so this option is mainly useful for very
+simple data.

 =item $enabled = $cbor->get_validate_utf8

 The concept of "valid UTF-8" used is perl's concept, which is a superset
 of the official UTF-8.
 If C<$enable> is false (the default), then C<decode> will blindly accept
 UTF-8 data, marking them as valid UTF-8 in the resulting data structure

+regardless of whether that's true or not.
 Perl isn't too happy about corrupted UTF-8 in strings, but should
 generally not crash or do similarly evil things. Extensions might be not
 so forgiving, so it's recommended to turn on this setting if you receive
 untrusted CBOR.

+=head2 INCREMENTAL PARSING
+In some cases, there is the need for incremental parsing of JSON
+texts. While this module always has to keep both CBOR text and resulting
+Perl data structure in memory at one time, it does allow you to parse a
+CBOR stream incrementally, using a similar to using "decode_prefix" to see
+if a full CBOR object is available, but is much more efficient.
+It basically works by parsing as much of a CBOR string as possible - if
+the CBOR data is not complete yet, the pasrer will remember where it was,
+to be able to restart when more data has been accumulated. Once enough
+data is available to either decode a complete CBOR value or raise an
+error, a real decode will be attempted.
+A typical use case would be a network protocol that consists of sending
+and receiving CBOR-encoded messages. The solution that works with CBOR and
+about anything else is by prepending a length to every CBOR value, so the
+receiver knows how many octets to read. More compact (and slightly slower)
+would be to just send CBOR values back-to-back, as C<CBOR::XS> knows where
+a CBOR value ends, and doesn't need an explicit length.
+The following methods help with this:
+=over 4
+=item @decoded = $cbor->incr_parse ($buffer)
+This method attempts to decode exactly one CBOR value from the beginning
+of the given C<$buffer>. The value is removed from the C<$buffer> on
+success. When C<$buffer> doesn't contain a complete value yet, it returns
+nothing. Finally, when the C<$buffer> doesn't start with something
+that could ever be a valid CBOR value, it raises an exception, just as
+C<decode> would. In the latter case the decoder state is undefined and
+must be reset before being able to parse further.
+This method modifies the C<$buffer> in place. When no CBOR value can be
+decoded, the decoder stores the current string offset. On the next call,
+continues decoding at the place where it stopped before. For this to make
+sense, the C<$buffer> must begin with the same octets as on previous
+unsuccessful calls.
+You can call this method in scalar context, in which case it either
+returns a decoded value or C<undef>. This makes it impossible to
+distinguish between CBOR null values (which decode to C<undef>) and an
+unsuccessful decode, which is often acceptable.
+=item @decoded = $cbor->incr_parse_multiple ($buffer)
+Same as C<incr_parse>, but attempts to decode as many CBOR values as
+possible in one go, instead of at most one. Calls to C<incr_parse> and
+C<incr_parse_multiple> can be interleaved.
+=item $cbor->incr_reset
+Resets the incremental decoder. This throws away any saved state, so that
+subsequent calls to C<incr_parse> or C<incr_parse_multiple> start to parse
+a new CBOR value from the beginning of the C<$buffer> again.
+This method can be caled at any time, but it I<must> be called if you want
+to change your C<$buffer> or there was a decoding error and you want to
+reuse the C<$cbor> object for future incremental parsings.

 =head1 MAPPING

 vice versa. These mappings are designed to "do the right thing" in most

 Perl hash references become CBOR maps. As there is no inherent ordering in
 hash keys (or CBOR maps), they will usually be encoded in a pseudo-random

 hashes will use the fixed-length format.
