+/// `EmptyObjectDecoder` exists internally for the sole purpose of
+/// allowing certain fallback logic paths to attempt to create `Decodable`
+/// types from empty containers (specifically in a way that is agnostic
+/// of any given encoding). In other words, this serves the same purpose
+/// as `JSONDecoder().decode(Thing.self, from: "{}".data(using: .utf8)!)`
+/// without needing to use a third party or `Foundation` library decoder.
