I would also like for this (actually, I've even made this suggestion 
myself, but I fail to find where). 

IMO tiddlers, as they're currently manifested, are not general enough to be 
"the smallest semantically meaningful unit 
<http://tiddlywiki.com/#Philosophy%20of%20Tiddlers>". IMO, what is "the 
smallest" *depends on context *- but at the very atomic level it must be 
the *field*.

But this does present a (solvable) problem; A field is a <name>:<value> 
...but that would mean we can only use one instance of each fieldname. Or 
we'd need some other identification to differentiate between foo:bar and 
foo:frotz.... so then the minimum entity would not be <name>:<value> but 
instead:

<id>:[<name>:<value>]

I would very much like to see this as a first class citizen. Of course, the 
typical 'end-user use' may then be to deal with a complex unit of these 
that is identical to the current tiddler manifestation. But not always! 
Especially not for when you just want a single value container.

...which is related to a recent thread 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywikidev/hHjo_COnmis> here 
where the concept of tiddlers as variables was discussed. 

This should make for very streamlined wikis.
