Make setting field settings in context of templates less verbose via API

[owzim]

Currently to change the 'summary' description in context of 'basic-page' we would have to do this:

// get the template
$t = $templates->get('basic-page');

// get the field in context of this template
$f = $t->fieldgroup->getField('summary', $useFieldgroupContext = true);

// value of the field
$f->description = "'basic-page' summary description";

// save new setting in context
$fields->saveFieldgroupContext($f, $t->fieldgroup);

What I'd like is something like this

// get the field
$f = $fields->get('summary');

// value of the field
$f->set('description', "'basic-page' summary description", $context = 'basic-page');

// save new setting, perhaps optional, because behind
// the scenes `saveFieldgroupContext` has been called already?
$f->save();

Similar for getting in context:

$f->get('description', $context = 'basic-page');

Not only is it more intuitive, but less verbose, in my opinion.

What do you think?

I like the idea..

I use this:

$fg = $fieldgroups->get("basic-page");
$fields->saveFieldgroupContext($fg->getFieldContext("sidebar")->set("label", "aside"), $fg);
