If its an inner fieldsplit, the numbering for options starts over again

  -fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_Field_0_fields 1
  -fieldsplit_0_fieldsplit_Field_1_fields 0

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
