Of course, but I had to give hints about implementing one quite often
for these simple cases which could be figured out by Search without
the need for more custom bridges nor annotations.

TBH I didn't think about Date, that's clearly a special case as it
selects a FieldBridge without actually using the @FieldBridge
annotation.

+1, as in:
@Field
@DateBridge(resolution=Resolution.DAY)
private Set<Date> views;
I think it's quite clear what the user meant to do, don't you?

yes, but simpler to implement as it's taken care of the LuceneOptions
already (AFAIK, a test might proof me wrong).

I think we don't have limitations, as people will still be able to use
@FieldBridge to override anything, as was mandatory before adding this
feature.
## @ElementCollection on embeddable objects
should this work the same as @IndexedEmbedded, or should it throw an
error inviting to use that one instead?
