A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I have a `@SerialInfo` annotation that indicates that the property is tagged with the given name, `@Field("HEDR")`. When a property has this annotation, it is encoded as a Type-Length-Value structure. As an example,
```@Field("HEDR")
val header: String = "asdf"```
Results in bytes matching
`TT TT TT TT LL LL VV VV VV VV` (`HEDR 04 00 asdf`)

But, to get this to happen, I have to override the `decode*Element` method for each primitive, to support each serializable type. Example,
```@Field("HEDR")
val header: String = "asdf"

@Field("INTV")
val taggedValues: Int = 1```
Is there an easy/cheap way to perform this tagging on any type, without overriding that specific type in the codec?

My current workaround is to effectively box each property, so my callsite looks like
```@Field("HEDR")
val header: Field<String>```
Or inline classes, allowing me to override the inline or structure methods.
