I agree that this would be an optimized way of using fields. Speaking of 
fields UI optimization..

I have an extra sugestion.

make it fast to make a field visible! 
in current UI you have to edit the view template (for all tiddlers or for a 
subset ) to make a new field visible or add* {{!!fieldName}}* in the 
tiddler text. From time to time, to make text more structured I would like 
to use fields and show them, but it is just to cumbersome to be worth it 
for the most part.

a fast way to show/hide fields in the layout for the particular tiddler 
would be handy. something like

   - in current UI: a small button at the end of the filed line
   - in proposed text UI: it could be a prefix or sufix (like* ! 
   filedName1: value1*) that would show or hide the particular field.

what do you think?
