Research direction

Start by comparing the date handling visible in structure.js with the type resolution in fields.js. Determine the expected JavaScript date representation and any remaining blockers, then confirm that fields.js resolves date types alongside numbers, strings, and booleans.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Would it be possible to have javascript date support? From the source of structure.js it looks like it is at least partially supported, but is there anything blocking having the fields.js script resolve date types in addition to numbers, strings, and booleans?

Willing to submit a PR, but didn't want to waste my time if it wasn't possible/desired.
