There should be a way to add special processing for fields in dbCommon
that requires no updates to existing record supports. Then we could add
a "virtual" field to dbCommon that automagically converts the TIME data
to DBF_UINT64 on access. The mechanism to implement that is simple:
instead of calling the record support's special method directly, first
call the one for dbCommon; check via return value if that handled the
field, otherwise invoke the record support's special.
