I am using a lightning:datatable to display the results of a dynamic SOQL query.  The columns are generated at runtime from those specified in the query, and default to type: "text".   Boolean or currency fields do not display unless you specifically set the type appropriately.  This is a problem because it is difficult in many cases to do a describe and get type information beforehand, particularly when querying fields from related objects.

Any insights?
