rows = [
   {"id": 1, "name": "Henry", "age": 34}
   {"id": 2, "name": "Fred", "age" : 42}
]

history = TypeType(rows, RowKey("id"), from_field = "start", to_field = "end")
iter(history)
>>> {"id": 1, "name": "Henry", "age": 34, "start": datetime(1900,1,1),  "end": datetime(2999,12,31)}
>>> {"id": 2, "name": "Fred",  "age": 42, "start": datetime(1900,1,1),  "end": datetime(2999,12,31)}


history += {"id": 1, "name": "Henry", "age": 37}
