Every Field is an extension of this object. Fieldmanager_Field is not intended to be instantiated directly.

A group is a set of one or more fields. This allows you to create e.g. one meta box with many fields in it, create repeatable or sortable sets of fields, create tabbed interfaces, and more.

Some fields are collections of many pre-set values, like select dropdown options, radio buttons, and checkboxes. These field types extend Options, so Fieldmanager knows how to handle and sanitize them.
