11.12 Fields Constants

Instead of having String field names strewn about, create an Interface that holds a constant value for each field name:

public static Fields FIRST_NAME = new Fields( "firstname" );

Using the Fields class, instead of String, allows for building more complex constants:

public static Fields NAME = FIRST_NAME.append( LAST_NAME );
