TField, you have to instantiate it before it can be referenced by the
handler, i.e. it is by nature a persistent object.
If you don't instantiate your own field objects in your application code,
Delphi instantiates dynamic field objects for itself, but your code can't
access them. What's your objection to instantiating TFields?
