public interface ExportableField
Interface that represents an exportable field. It is recommended that implementations override Object.equals(Object) and Object.hashCode() methods to make it possible for users to check if a given field is present or not in a list of already existing fields. A typical implementation should only compare itself to fields of the same class that export the same information with the same title.
