test: Whenever we test if schemas encode and decode binary correctly, let's automatically test if both the compiled and non-compiled writers work correctly.

Description
We could do this via some sort of expect().toEncodeTo() and expect().toDecodeTo() helpers, or via just helpers that run the calculation twice, make sure the output is the same, and return one of them.
expectEncoded(schema, 123).toMatchInlineSnapshot(...) // writes twice, compares, and returns one of the results

Research direction
Start by locating the tests that verify binary schema encoding and decoding, then identify how compiled and non-compiled writers are currently exercised. Define the helper approach with the existing test conventions, and consider the work done when those tests automatically run both writers, compare their outputs, and preserve the existing snapshot coverage.
