MEOW_FieldSet

Represents a single field set item within a multiple-item field set. 

Note: technically, for convenience, a single item field set is not modelled as a MEOW_FieldSet, but rather a MEOW_FieldSetCollection. While this is slightly counterintuitive, it behaves the same way for all intents and purposes, as all access to fields underneath will always be on the first item in the collection (see example).

Example: Obtaining a MEOW_FieldSet
