Add smart constructors for Value #975

Open Boarders opened 2 years ago

Constructing a Value type by hand you can use .= and object. I think it would make sense to have a richer collection of ways to construct a Value mirroring the interface that is offered by Data.Aeson.Encoding.

As an example, if one wants to create an array value then that should not mean you need to import Vector.
