/**
 * A record in PasswordSafe consists of a number of fields.  In V1.7 files all fields are
 * strings but in V2.0 they can be of type String, UUID, time_t (a 32-bit integer holding
 * the number of milliseconds since 00:00:00 on 1st January 1970) or integer.
 * </p><p>
 * This class is abstract because each subclass, although sharing similar features,
 * has unique characteristics that are best handled with polymorphism.  This allows 
 * easier support for new field types should new ones be introduced in later versions
 * of the program.
