      Hello,

      Would it be possible to add an easy way to change a field default value outside the field definition?

      Pseudo code:

      class SomeDocument
      include Mongoid::Document
      field :data, :type => String, :default => 'I love mongoid'
      end

      class BetterDocument < SomeDocument
      default_value_for :data, 'Mongoid loves me'
      end

      at the moment, the way I use which generates a warning is

      class SomeDocument
      include Mongoid::Document
      field :data, :type => String, :default => 'I love mongoid'
      end

      class BetterDocument < SomeDocument
      field :data, :type => String, :default => 'Mongoid loves me'
      end
