-----------------------------------------

Hey Grant: 

bq. what you are proposing doesn't get you anything over just using StrField.

I sort of get this, but then I don't. The outlier is DateField -- what does it 
get you other than some magic around ensuring that dates are stored as ISO 8601 
dates? In the end, it's just a special type of StrField though too, right? Not 
trying to be difficult, just trying to understand.

In any case, I'll focus on GeoHashFieldType for now, regardless...

Cheers,
Chris
