Does anyone see a problem with adding support for storing unindexed, untokenized *binary* data as document fields? At the moment, the closest thing we have is unindexed, untokenized *character* data. Looking at the source, this will be a trivial change, but I'm curious to learn if there are specific reasons (other than inclination and opportunity) that this has been left out.
