/**
 * @defgroup field_attach Field Attach API
 * @{
 * Operate on Field API data attached to Drupal entities.
 *
 * Field Attach API functions load, store, display, generate Form API
 * structures, and perform a variety of other functions for field data attached
 * to individual entities.
 *
 * Field Attach API functions generally take $entity_type and $entity arguments
 * along with additional function-specific arguments. $entity_type is the type
 * of the fieldable entity, such as 'node' or 'user', and $entity is the entity
 * itself.
 *
 * hook_entity_info() is the central place for entity types to define if and
 * how Field API should operate on their entity objects. Notably, the
 * 'fieldable' property needs to be set to TRUE.
 *
 * The Field Attach API uses the concept of bundles: the set of fields for a
 * given entity is defined on a per-bundle basis. The collection of bundles for
 * an entity type is defined its hook_entity_info() implementation. For
 * instance, node_entity_info() exposes each node type as its own bundle. This
 * means that the set of fields of a node is determined by the node type. The
 * Field API reads the bundle name for a given entity from a particular
 * property of the entity object, and hook_entity_info() defines which property
 * to use. For instance, node_entity_info() specifies:
 * @code $info['entity keys']['bundle'] = 'type'@endcode
 * This indicates that for a particular node object, the bundle name can be
 * found in $node->type. This property can be omitted if the entity type only
 * exposes a single bundle (all entities of this type have the same collection
 * of fields). This is the case for the 'user' entity type.
 *
 * Most Field Attach API functions define a corresponding hook function that
 * allows any module to act on Field Attach operations for any entity after the
 * operation is complete, and access or modify all the field, form, or display
 * data for that entity and operation. For example, field_attach_view() invokes
 * hook_field_attach_view_alter(). These all-module hooks are distinct from
 * those of the Field Types API, such as hook_field_load(), that are only
 * invoked for the module that defines a specific field type.
 *
 * field_attach_load(), field_attach_insert(), and field_attach_update() also
 * define pre-operation hooks, e.g. hook_field_attach_pre_load(). These hooks
 * run before the corresponding Field Storage API and Field Type API
 * operations. They allow modules to define additional storage locations (e.g.
 * denormalizing, mirroring) for field data on a per-field basis. They also
 * allow modules to take over field storage completely by instructing other
 * implementations of the same hook and the Field Storage API itself not to
 * operate on specified fields.
 *
 * The pre-operation hooks do not make the Field Storage API irrelevant. The
 * Field Storage API is essentially the "fallback mechanism" for any fields
 * that aren't being intercepted explicitly by pre-operation hooks.
