Description
Multi-column value conversions were initially tracked by #13947 as a way to enable value objects, but we decided to instead implement them using complex types.
This issue tracks using value conversions as an alternative to complex types.
#### Pros
- How properties decompose into columns is more flexible (e.g. two properties can be stored in one column or viceversa)
#### Cons
- Opaque to queries (i.e. individual properties participating in a multi-column value conversion can't be used in conditions or projections)
