The old auto-calculation for computing how many bytes to encode an int didn't work in some edge cases:
Technically right now there's a case (e.g. -128) which only needs 1 byte but right now it will calculate it to be 2 b/c of the asymmetry (1 byte can represent -128 to 127). Would just take a little of extra code by checking sign of value and if signed=True
