`:id`	`integer`	ID*	Counter
`:binary_id`	`binary`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`:integer`	`integer`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`:float`	`float`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`:boolean`	`boolean`	Enable-Wins Flag	Disable-Wins
`:string`	`UTF-8 encoded string`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Text editing CRDTs?
`:binary`	`binary`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`{:array, inner_type}`	`list`	Replicated Growable Array
`:map`	`map`	Remove-As-Reset Map
`{:map, inner_type}`	`map`	Remove-As-Reset Map
`:decimal`	`Decimal`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`:date`	`Date`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`:time`	`Time`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`:time_usec`	`Time`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`:naive_datetime`	`NaiveDateTime`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`:naive_datetime_usec`	`NaiveDateTime`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`:utc_datetime`	`DateTime`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register
`:utc_datetime_usec`	`DateTime`	Last-Write-Wins Register	Multi-Value Register

*ID type does not yet exist. No current support. In addition, we expose Antidote CRDTs using custom Types provided by Vax.Ecto.Types.
