Sean,
What are vector field width and precision good for in 2024? These
concepts were inherited from MS Access via Shapefile, I believe. I've
been wondering if I can stop supporting them in my Fiona project
without breaking workflows badly. Numpy data types don't have width
and precision. Neither do, for example, Parquet and Arrow.
Anybody using these for anything crucial?
If Fiona had only a read side you could likely ignore them. But writing
all those formats (shapefile, mapinfo, etc.) require setting those
properties. If you don't specify them, the OGR drivers will use some
defaults, that might not always be appropriate.
