Review comment:
       Yes! Great questions.
   Two reasons, interface types, and to generate independent coders.
   
   We want to have the providers since we want the bundles to be independent 
and be able to create new instances for each one. We need to keep the factory 
function around, since we don't actually know what types are being used until 
construction time and these would need to be registered earlier than that.
   
   Independant coders are valuable to avoid locking overhead, and re-doing work 
at per-element calls, which account for most costs.
   
   The factory allows for interface types since we can register with an 
interface type, and then pass the type to the factory. We want this approach 
rather than registering 1 size fits all, to avoid forcing interface coders to 
have to make per-element decisions based on static type attributes.
   
   Eg. With a fixed type, we know it's structure ahead of time, and could use 
simple coders only. 
   With a coder factory bound to an interface type, the factory is still given 
the concrete type used in some pipeline (like a specific protocol buffer), but 
the factory can generate the coder once, and use it for multiple elements. This 
avoids looking up coders per element from some global registry which could 
require locking, which would add overhead.
   
   Further, we can bolster support for interfaces. Eg. A generic interface can 
be used as an element type, and then the factory can then do per element work 
if it so chooses, but at the cost of whatever overhead. But in this case we can 
avoid the per-element locking since we know the coder will be used only in 
single threaded contexts, so it can cache it's own coders. More expensive than 
statically structured coders, but it doesn't block the path either way.
   
   Finally, we're accepting interface{} in the register, for these since we may 
wish to expand the factory set up for optimizations that could avoid additional 
allocations.

> Schema support is required for advanced cross language features in Beam, and 
> has the opportunity to replace the current default JSON encoding of elements.
> Some quick notes, though a better fleshed out doc with details will be 
> forthcoming:
>  * All base coders should be implemented, and listed as coder capabilities. I 
> think only stringutf8 is missing presently.
>  * Should support fairly arbitrary user types, seamlessly. That is, users 
> should be able to rely on it "just working" if their type is compatible.
>  * Should support schema metadata tagging.
> In particular, one breaking shift in the default will be to explicitly fail 
> pipelines if elements have unexported fields, when no other custom coder has 
> been added. This has been a source of errors/dropped data/keys and a simply 
> warning at construction time won't cut it. However, we could provide a manual 
> "use beam schemas, but ignore unexported fields" registration as a work 
> around.
> Edit: Doc is now at https://s.apache.org/beam-go-schemas
