Well I'm not an expert either but at least streamzap tends to have the
toggle bit enabled quite often when sending ir pulses.

When decoding the toggle is always removed from the scancode but when
encoding it would be useful to have the possibility to encode it in.
This is because setting the toggle bit into wakeup makes it easier to
wake the system with nuvoton hw as it is difficult to press the remote
key short time enough (less than around 112ms) to generate a pulse
without the toggle bit set.
