"""
The API and implementation of columns may change in the next version of Whoosh!

This module contains "Column" objects which you can use as the argument to a
Field object's ``sortable=`` keyword argument. Each field defines a default
column type for when the user specifies ``sortable=True`` (the object returned
by the field's ``default_column()`` method).

The default column type for most fields is ``VarBytesColumn``,
although numeric and date fields use ``NumericColumn``. Expert users may use
other field types that may be faster or more storage efficient based on the
field contents. For example, if a field always contains one of a limited number
of possible values, a ``RefBytesColumn`` will save space by only storing the
values once. If a field's values are always a fixed length, the
``FixedBytesColumn`` saves space by not storing the length of each value.

A ``Column`` object basically exists to store configuration information and
provides two important methods: ``writer()`` to return a ``ColumnWriter`` object
and ``reader()`` to return a ``ColumnReader`` object.
