> One could also argue that this custom decoder is just an internal way to leverage variant-like parsing at the tape decoder level, needed because actual variant doesn't exist externally yet I think this has hit the nail on the head as to why I'm wary about exposing the tape, we're effectively at that point exposing a custom variant implementation.
