Currently FieldFetcher stores all the FieldContexts that are later used to
retrieve the fields in a List. This has the disadvantage that the same field
path can be retrieved several times (e.g. if multiple patterns match the same
path or if similar paths are defined several times e.g. with different formats).
Currently the last value to be retrieved "wins" and gets returned. We might as
well de-duplicate the FieldContexts by using a map internally, keyed by the
field path that is going to be retrieved, to avoid more work later.
