Support for Fujitsu AR-RPB1U remote
I have a Fujitsu Halcyon ASUH12LPAS controlled by a remote with model code AR-RPB1U.
Reading the signals sent with IRrecvDumpV3, I obtain a hodgepodge of model numbers.

Question: Does this warrant creating a new model number in IRremoteESP8266, or should an application bounce between models (setModel) before doing this or that?
Yes, it bounces between models. Fujitsu uses protocols that have common messages between models. So, often the library can't tell from a single message what kind of remote/AC you have. As you a feature that is more model specific, it can tell more of what model it must be.
I'd try Model 6: ARREW4E for your remote.
Seems like this was answered and not a bug, even if it is confusing, but we can't do anything about it?
Apologies; should have mentioned that model 6 actually worked for that remote. The "right thing" to do would be to print all the models that incorporate a signal (rather than a single one). Not sure if it's worth the effort.
From a consumer perspective the downside of showing multiple models would be parsing and picking one of many. It would probably also mean we would need a different structure to display this.
