Created virtual sub-classes of DataSet: {Finite{Length,Width},Sliceable}DataSet,
removed .field ability from LookupList (because of setattr problems), removed
fieldNames() from DataSet (but is in FiniteWidthDataSet, where it makes sense),
and added hasFields() instead. Fixed problems in asarray, and tested
previous functionality in _test_dataset.py, but not yet new functionality.

A DataSet is a generator of iterators; these iterators can run through the examples in a variety of ways. A DataSet need not necessarily have a finite or known length, so this class can be used to interface to a 'stream' which feeds on-line learning. To iterate over examples, there are several possibilities: - for example in dataset.zip([field1, field2,field3, ...]) - for val1,val2,val3 in dataset.zip([field1, field2,field3]) - for minibatch in dataset.minibatches([field1, field2, ...],minibatch_size=N) - for example in dataset Each of these is documented below. Note: Fields are not mutually exclusive, i.e. two fields can overlap in their actual content. Note: The content of a field can be of any type. Note: A dataset can recognize a potentially infinite number of field names (i.e. the field values can be computed on-demand, when particular field names are used in one of the iterators). Datasets of finite length should be sub-classes of FiniteLengthDataSet. Datasets whose elements can be indexed and sub-datasets of consecutive examples (i.e. slices) can be extracted from should be sub-classes of SliceableDataSet. Datasets with a finite number of fields should be sub-classes of FiniteWidthDataSet.
