Hm... Given this feedback, it sounds like the only way to implement Christian's suggestion in a backwards-compatible way would be to use a different xxx name, e.g. fields. I also like the suggestion of allowing control over the order as well.

(Yes, I know that this means nothing, since xyz names are fair game, though I think it is extremely funny that fate is trying to kill my ConatraintObject metatype)
