	Use one of these methods:

	FieldMap::setField (const FieldBase& field, bool overwrite = true);
	FieldMap::setField (int field, const std::string value);

	The message classes all derive from FieldMap.

	Oren: any reason the second form of setField takes a "const
	std::string" and not a "const std::string&"?
