   *       writer->type_pos = sub->type_pos

   *       writer->type_pos should remain as-is
   *
   * - note that the parent is never an ARRAY or VARIANT, if it were
   *   then type_pos_is_expectation would be TRUE. The parent
   *   is thus known to be a toplevel or STRUCT.
   *
   * Cases where writer->type_pos_is_expectation:
   *   (in these cases we want to update to next expected type to write)
   *
   * - we recursed from STRUCT into STRUCT and we didn't increment
   *   type_pos in the parent just to stay consistent with the
   *   !writer->type_pos_is_expectation case (though we could
   *   special-case this in recurse_struct instead if we wanted)
   *       writer->type_pos = sub->type_pos
   *
   * - we recursed from STRUCT into ARRAY or VARIANT and type_pos
   *   for parent should have been incremented already
   *       writer->type_pos should remain as-is
   *
   * - we recursed from ARRAY into a sub-element, so type_pos in the
   *   parent is the element type and should remain the element type
   *   for the benefit of the next child element
   *       writer->type_pos should remain as-is
   *
   * - we recursed from VARIANT into its value, so type_pos in the

   *   and we just finished writing it and won't use type_pos again
   *       writer->type_pos should remain as-is
