Description

Sometimes the tag and the content of the JSON you're processing are on the same level where both `TaggedObject` and `UntaggedValue` will not suffice. I propose adding another `SumEncoding` option that handles this case. The implementation should be very similar to that of `UntaggedValue`.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing SumEncoding options, especially TaggedObject and UntaggedValue, to understand their behavior and implementation. Define the same-level tag-and-content JSON shape with examples, then add the new option and tests showing that it handles that shape without breaking the existing encodings.
