I think the patch should come with test cases exercising each of the
supported properties. For the tests themselves we can use dtc as an
oracle - throw the code at it and see if it compiles successfully (and
assume that the dts structure is what we wanted).

The tests would also serve as an example of how to invoke the root
dts_encode(), given it is self-recursive and seemingly has a bunch of
optional arguments to support that.

We're branching twice on the same condition here. Perhaps:

    delim = ','
    closure = ('','')
    if ctx is 'int_list':
      delim = ' '
      closure = ('<', '>')

It's a little longer, but possibly a little clearer also?
