Review comment:
       I think we may want to also keep `addIdentifierField`. There's still a 
use case around adding a field at a time. 
   ~~Plus, given that I think we want to be able to specify the parent (see my 
comment below), this form of the method is a bit awkward because we can't pass 
pairs of strings, `(parent, name)`.~~
   
   ~~What about changing this to `resetIdentifierFields`, `addIdentifierField`, 
and `removeIdentifierField`? I think those get the same job done because `set` 
is `reset` plus `add` calls.~~
   
   Edit: I think I was wrong on changing the API, but `addIdentifierField` is 
still valid.
