I saw a thing somewhere about avoiding repeating the same field definitions. So an app I’m working on uses an exactly 6-character sting as an identifier, which appears in many places.

IIRC, the thing I read proposed defining a type AS IMPLICIT, but I’m not sure. Mainly because the docs urge caution with using AS IMPLICIT.

Thoughts?
