Proto3 doesn't have a concept of field presence for singular primitive
fields, so for example there is no difference between an integer field set
to 0 and that same field being unset entirely. As a result there shouldn't
be has_foo() methods for singular primitive fields, and that is how
Google's protobuf libraries work with proto3. There are has_() methods for
embedded message fields, though (since those are not considered primitive
fields).
