Suggestion for Document as an HashMap rather than [Field]

[yogeshsajanikar]

Would it be more efficient to have Document as HashMap rather than list of Field, especially if Document does comprise of large number of fields?

I support the idea, I wanted it for years. But the package is widely used (mostly outside of hackage I guess). IMO good migration strategy is necessary here.

👍

We have this in the (currently abandoned) bresson package precisely because list-based documents were cumbersome to work with.

This is still relevant, I suppose.
