/*\
title: js/Tiddler.js

Tiddlers are an immutable dictionary of name:value pairs called fields. Values can be a string,
an array of strings, or a JavaScript date object.

The only field that is required is the `title` field, but useful tiddlers also have a `text`
field, and some or all of the standard fields `modified`, `modifier`, `created`, `creator`,
`tags` and `type`.

Hardcoded in the system is the knowledge that the 'tags' field is a string array, and that
the 'modified' and 'created' fields are dates. All other fields are strings.
