Typing support

[last-partizan]

Hi folks

Are you interested in adding types to your project?

There is https://github.com/sbdchd/mongo-types project, but it's incomplete and outdated. But types can be integrated back into the original project.

If you're interested, i can try making a PR.

This is a great idea but it all depends how much it will clutter this codebase. Although MongoEngine is way less complex and popular, it is worth mentioning this post from django on the same topic django/deps#65

I recently started testing mongo-types and fixed a bunch of issues, of course the dynamic nature of Documents, some Fields and Querysets makes typing quite tricky to get right, you may want to check it out here https://github.com/bagerard/mongo-types. I also see that the original project received some commits recently.

Alternative could be to get mongo-types under the MongoEngine umbrella, but as a separate library
