/**
   * Returns a value from this adapter.
   *
   * This must always return a value, though it doesn't necessarily need to consume data from
   * [reader]. For example, if the reader's peeked tag isn't readable by this adapter, it may return
   * a default value.
   *
   * If this does read a value, it starts with the tag and length, and reads an entire value,
   * including any potential composed values.
