/**
 * Represents a field in a form.
 *
 * A FieldList contains a number of FormField objects which make up the whole of a form.
 *
 * In addition to single fields, FormField objects can be "composite", for example, the
 * {@link TabSet} field. Composite fields let us define complex forms without having to resort to
 * custom HTML.
 *
 * To subclass:
 *
 * Define a {@link dataValue()} method that returns a value suitable for inserting into a single
 * database field.
 *
 * For example, you might tidy up the format of a date or currency field. Define {@link saveInto()}
 * to totally customise saving.
 *
 * For example, data might be saved to the filesystem instead of the data record, or saved to a
 * component of the data record instead of the data record itself.
 *
 * A form field can be represented as structured data through {@link FormSchema},
 * including both structure (name, id, attributes, etc.) and state (field value).
 * Can be used by for JSON data which is consumed by a front-end application.
 *
 * @package forms
 * @subpackage core
