 I'm trying to use https://github.com/cognitect/transit-python and I
 created a custom `KeywordField` for this.
 The problem is that `transit.transit_types.Keyword` is a callable. Now,
 even if I override `_get_default` in `KeywordField`, it still won't work
 because
 `django.db.backends.base.schema.BaseDatabaseSchemaEditor#effective_default`
 checks the value again.

 I think a simple fix would be to remove this check from
 `effective_default` and immediately make a call where it's necessary
 (`datetime.date` etc).
