[schema] Field of Foo for "type Foo uint" won't decode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice if aliased types could be parsed correctly. encoding/json 
seems to do this, but my foo isn't strong enough to figure out how to patch 
schema to do this. I've attached test cases, one works the other doesn't and 
hopefully explains the issue.

We require a converter for any custom type. 

Not sure if we should do type switching for derived basic types; I will take a 
look at encoding/json, but for the type being, register a function:

    decoder.RegisterConverter(Foo(0), func(s string) { 
    if v, err := strconv.ParseUint(s, 10, 0); err == nil {
        return reflect.ValueOf(Foo(v))
    }
    return reflect.Value{}
    })
