Native Fields

Native fields are similar to abstract fields in that they generate a getter and setter, but no actual storage. The emit process will route the Fan getter/setter to the peer class:

class Native
{
  native Int f
}

class NativePeer
{
  public static NativePeer make(Native t) { return new NativePeer(); }
  public Int f(Native t) { return f; }
  public void f(Native t, Int v) { f = v; }
  Int f;
}

Native fields can be virtual or override a superclass, but cannot be const, static, or abstract.
