schema info in bake?

does anyone know how to use schema infos in the baking templates?
to be precise, in the views

currently I check on the field names themselves
if ($field=="created") {
// display formatted date
}
if ($field=="id") {
// skip primary key
}
if ($field=="active") {
// display yes/no image for checkboxes
}
etc

it would be more helpful if i had information about the schema. so i
can handle all "date" and "datetime" fields (even if they are called
"published" etc). and that i can handle all tinyint(1) fields as yes/
no images.

thx
