…ent. Such a code path is often used when we cannot find type discriminator as a first key in Json (for example, if json input is invalid, and we got a string instead of an object). In such cases, we should display a nice error message. Also add tag stack — equivalent of a Json path — to most of the error messages. Note that it is far from an ideal, since changing between string and tree decoders (such happens in polymorphism) won't preserve stack or path correctly. Yet, it is the best we can do for now.
