Yes, but the schema checks don't check negative values correctly yet. So 
you can use 'int8-array', but just don't use negative values in the 
examples. I'm working on changes that will fix this issue.

What does 6-bit mean? 0x3f is negative? Just sign extend the values and 
specify the valid range instead:

minimum: -32
maximum: 31
