------------------------------------
bq. That then requires those dynamic fields to be present, which I'd rather not
have to do.
That's sort of a separate question: if one were allowed to register a dynamic
field (not sure if this capability is present), then it could be registered if
it didn't exist.
Also, you have subFieldType="double" in the schema... and that requires that
the "double" field type be defined. Why not have subFieldSuffix="_d" and
require the "_d" dynamic field be defined? Seems like the same complexity
level.

For a specific point implementation, that's fine. But if you use a point type
that can do cartesian grid stuff, then you already have different field types.
But I guess subFieldType="double" need only apply to some of the subfields (the
ones that index the points).

> In a few special cases, it makes sense for a single "field" (the concept) to
> be indexed as a set of Fields (lucene Field). Consider SOLR-773. The
> concept "point" may be best indexed in a variety of ways:
> * geohash (sincle lucene field)
> * lat field, lon field (two double fields)
> * cartesian tiers (a series of fields with tokens to say if it exists within
> that region)
