 get_fields is internally cached for speed and a recursive function that collects fields from each parent of the model.
 An example of every (sane) combination of flags will be available in the model_meta test suite that I will ship with the new API.
+The 'export_map' key is only used internally (by get_field) and is not part of the public API. 'export_map=True' will return an OrderedDict with fields
+as keys and a tuple of strings as values. While the keys map exactly to the same output as 'export_map=False', the tuple of values will contain all
+possible lookup names for that field. This is used to build a fast lookup table for get_field and to avoid re-iterating over every field to pull
+out every possible name.
