Decode the specified `object` of parameterized `TYPE` from the input source specified by a previous call to `open` and leave the reader in an open state. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value otherwise. A compilation error will result unless `TYPE` conforms to the requirements of a bdlat sequence or choice, as described in `bdlat_sequencefunctions` and `bdlat_choicefunctions`. The behavior is undefined unless this call was preceded by a prior successful call to `open`
