However, in our asn.1 the Extended RNC-ID seems to be available only for
Enhanced Relocation Complete messages.

9.1.33 lists it as optional IE for an InitialUE message, but it seems I
can't parse it with anything except
ranap_decode_enhancedrelocationcompleterequesties(), which is not related
to InitialUE messages. It thus seems that extended RNC IDs aren't widely
used? I also found the words "Note: Application of the Extended RNC-ID IE
to very large networks is FFS." in 9.2.1.39a. FFS meaning... For Future
Something?

I'm not supporting extended RNC-Ids at this point.
