I've kept meaning to capture this - working with migrate_d2d's field detection, it occurred to me that we can detect the available columns for a field, and thus have a default field handler that would report them through fields() and populate them in prepare() - i.e., a field handler that would handle many (if not most) field types without having to write a specialized handler for each field type. Now working on this, very promising...

Wow, thanks mike, the new default field handler is in fact really great and helps save us a bunch of time! Nice work!
