There was some disagreement between the original authors on which syntax
we all liked best.  In the end, we decided to put both in and let users
decide which they liked best.  I started off in the `with_fields` camp,
and now firmly behind `has_field`.  I wouldn't object to deprecating the
`with_fields` syntax personally, but I'd like to hear from Gaetan and
Daniel to see if either of their opinions have changed.

If there is any disagreement from Gaetan and Daniel, then I'd prefer
just to keep things as they are, even though I am in total agreement
with the OWTDI mantra from the Zen of Python.

Thanks for the feedback -
