/** <P> This is the basic interface which describes a field in a C/C++
    data structure or a Java object. </P>

    <P> The accessors in this class are designed to allow manual
    coercion of the data within the field, which is often necessary
    when interfacing with C programs. Therefore, the accessors here do
    not perform any type checking. Specializations of the Field
    interface, such as JByteField, provide getValue() methods which
    both perform type checking and return the appropriate specialized
    type. </P>

    <P> See @see CIntegerType for a description of why all C integer
    types are bundled into the category "CIntegerType". </P>

    <P> As an example, coercing a pointer field into an int can be
    done in the following fashion (assuming the application has
    registered an integer type in the type database called
    "intptr_t"): </P>

    <PRE>
    {
      ...
      Address myObject = ...;
      CIntegerType intptr_tType = (CIntegerType) db.lookupType("intptr_t");
      long addrVal = field.getCInteger(myObject, intptr_tType);
      ...
    }
    </PRE>

    FIXME: among other things, this interface is not sufficient to
    describe fields which are themselves arrays (like Symbol's
    u1 _body[1]).  */
