(** Encodes the powers of x, y, z in a compact form, suitable for being
used as keys in a hash table.
Internally, the {Zkey.t} is made of two integers, [left] and [right].
The small integers x, y and z are stored compactly in this 126-bits
space:
{[
Left Right
3 [--------------------------------------------------------------] [------------------|---------------|---------------|---------------]
x y z
6 [--------------------------------------------------------------] [---|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|---------]
x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2
9 [---------------------------------|----------|----------|---------] [---|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|---------]
x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 x3 y3 z3
12 [---|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|---------] [---|----------|----------|----------|----------|----------|---------]
x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 x3 y3 z3 x4 y4 z4
]}
The values of x,y,z should be positive and should not exceed 32767 for
[kind=3]. For all other kinds kinds the values should not exceed 1023.
