A lot of Director documentation is pointing in the direction that
fields are old technology, and will be obsolete. 'Text' is the
future. Therefore I think that any feature that 'text' members sport
will be continued, but fetures of fields may not be...
I would not hesitate to rely on a feature of text, although undocumented.
