JsonDecoder.orElse relies on the self.unsafeDecode throwing an exception to continue to the next decoder.

This is likely unnecessarily expensive, as it produces an error that will never be read.
It also doesn't help that orElse accepts the other decoder as a by-name parameter, which can re-instantiate an encoder if users are not careful.
