The problem is that Encode and Decode traits are needed for everything encoded with IMPLICIT wrapper.
IMPLICIT wrapper should require only EncodeValue + DecodeValue + IsConstructed.

Research direction
Start by reviewing pull request #1545 and the related issue #1745, since the issue says this work may be part of a larger change. Confirm how the IMPLICIT wrapper currently uses Encode, Decode, Tagged, EncodeValue, DecodeValue, and IsConstructed; done means IMPLICIT requires only the latter three traits and the relevant checks pass.
