Whilst I didn't need option feilds, making custom field types is part of the course with Record as the defaults are just that; defaults :-)

So I'm trying to write the CouchDB / Lift-JSON record instance, however I've run into a major snag, which is null handling. The DBRecord implementation is not complete, so I can't see how other things are doing it, and I tried hacking around and I can't figure out how Record supports null fields (missing values, really). In particular I need this for the couch type of record because not every record has an _id or _rev, so I need to represent no-value. I prefer to use Option or Box for this, but none of the built in field types have this pattern.

Do I need to make new net.liftweb.record.field.OptionalStringField, OptionalBooleanField, etc etc? Or is there something I'm missing?
