[gdal-dev] What are vector field width and precision good for?

[Sean Gillies]

Hi all,

What are vector field width and precision good for in 2024? These concepts
were inherited from MS Access via Shapefile, I believe. I've been wondering
if I can stop supporting them in my Fiona project without breaking
workflows badly. Numpy data types don't have width and precision. Neither
do, for example, Parquet and Arrow.

Anybody using these for anything crucial?
