 * and so on. The data type(s) accepted by a field are defined in
 * hook_field_schema().
 *
 * The Field Types API also defines two kinds of pluggable handlers: widgets
 * and formatters. @link field_widget Widgets @endlink specify how the field
 * appears in edit forms, while @link field_formatter formatters @endlink
 * specify how the field appears in displayed entities.
