I wasn't planning on doing any myself. The problem as I see it is
that m_getfld() touches everything, and I'm reluctant to make any
incremental changes to m_getfld() that could potentially break a
whole bunch of stuff. Since we've got a lot of changes coming for
1.5, I wanted to get that out the door soon-ish. Also, I'm not
sure what we could do to m_getfld() that would improve the situation
without getting rid of it entirely. And I am thinking that the
work for the Vixiefied(*) API is going to take some time.
If you have some suggestions for changes to m_getfld() that you'd like
to see for 1.5, then I'm open to hearing them.

(*) Technically it should be "Vixie-Nerenbergified API", but that doesn't
quite roll off the tongue, does it?
