/**
 * This trait has to be extended for new fields that
 * are derived from net.liftweb.record.BaseField or TypedField and should be used
 * in squeryl records.
 * 
 * This is necessary because the class of the field's value in the database
 * has to be known for squeryl, and this information is not directly
 * available in BaseField or TypedField.
 *
 * For all standard fields in record, there is a special handling in
 * squeryl-record. That means, for example, that you can create a subclass
 * of StringTypedField without the need to extend this trait.
