I am making a new `Encoder` / `Decoder` and I'm confused why there is a `Encoder` and a `CompisiteEncoder`. Why does there need to be a destiction?

Ah I think I see why. Incase you want to encode a class as a primitive.

That's a corner of the serialization API that's a bit lacking in documentation. The suggested way of doing stuff is to extend `AbstractEncoder`/`Decoder` which implements both interfaces, but since most of the official encoders use the `TaggedEncoder`/`Decoder` family instead, there's not a lot of examples of how to do it right.
