 Where else? Of course some of the methods currently in Fields might
 actually work in a more general setting and could be lifted to some
 super categories. But others are really about fields (like the trivial
 is_field :-)), so that's their natural spot, isn't it?

 Btw:

 {{{
 sage: Rings.Division.Commutative
 <class 'sage.categories.fields.Fields'>
 }}}
