 In this case, Person has no related objects, but it has 1 proxied related object from RelationToProxy.
 
+=== The new API
+The new API is composed of 2 main functions: get_fields, and get_field.
 
+==== get_fields(m2m, data, related_m2m, related_objects, virtual, include_parents, include_non_concrete, include_hidden, include_proxy)

+get_fields takes a set of flags as parameters, and returns a tuple of field instances that match those parameters. All possible combinations of
+options are possible here, although some will have no effect (such as include_proxy combined with data or m2m by itself).
+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
