BinaryTagIO.Reader & BinaryTagIO.Writer other tag support #1053

I am curious why the Reader and Writer only support reading and writing as a compound? Is there any plan to support other tag types? I am happy to contribute to this if so.

Unless I am misunderstanding something, it isn't possible to read a 1.20.3+ text component (#995) using the builtin reader if it is serialized as a single string rather than a component. I encountered this in looking into replacing the NBT library in Minestom (https://github.com/Minestom/Minestom/pull/2030), and had to avoid using the reader entirely.

There's changes planned to revamp the NBT IO handling, unfortunately they had to be delayed to get 4.16.0 out the door, but see #995 and #1009
