Scott Carey commented on AVRO-1016:
-----------------------------------
Should the copy constructor also copy aliases and props? Should we create such
a copy constructor or static factory method that creates a new field based on
an old one, and retains aliases and/or props? Creating a new one, then filling
out the bits one by one seems like a clumsy API. Either way we need the
exposed aliases() getter.
