NAME
       Biber::Entry - Biber::Entry objects

   new
	   Initialize a Biber::Entry object

   TO_JSON

   clone
	   Clone a Biber::Entry object and return a copy
	   Accepts optionally a key for the copy

   notnull
	   Test for an empty object

   set_orig_field
	   Set a field which came from the datasource which is then split/transformed
	   into other fields. Here we save the original in case we need to look at it again
	   but it is not treated as a real field any more. Such fields are of only historical
	   interest in the processing in case we lose information during processing but need
	   to refer back.

   get_orig_field
	   Get an original field which has been subsequently split/transformed.

   set_field
	 Set/append to a derived field for a Biber::Entry object, that is, a field
	 which was not an actual bibliography field

   get_field
	   Get a field for a Biber::Entry object

   set_datafield
	   Set/append to a field which is in the bib data file
	   Only set to null if the field is a nullable one
	   otherwise if value is null, remove the field

   del_datafield
	   Delete an original data source data field in a Biber::Entry object

   field_exists
	   Check whether a field exists (even if null)

   datafields

   count_datafields
	   Returns the number of datafields

   fields
	   Returns a sorted array of all field names, including ones
	   added during processing which are not necessarily fields
	   which came from the data file

   count_fields
	   Returns the number of fields

   has_keyword
	   Check if a Biber::Entry object has a particular keyword in
	   in the KEYWORDS field.

   set_inherit_from
	   Inherit fields from parent entry

	   $entry->set_inherit_from($parententry);

	   Tailored for set inheritance which is a straight 1:1 inheritance,
	   excluding certain fields for backwards compatibility
