		 QuerySchema::fields() returns vector of fields used for the query columns,

		 asterisk as-is.
		 This could be inconvenient when you need just a fully expanded list of fields,
		 so this method does the work for you. 

		 If \a options is Unique, each field is returned in the vector only once 
		 (first found field is selected).
		 Note however, that the same field can be returned more than once if it has attached 
		 a different alias.
		 For example, let t be TABLE( a, b ) and let query be defined 
		 by "SELECT *, a AS alfa FROM t" statement. Both fieldsExpanded(Default) 
		 and fieldsExpanded(Unique) will return [ a, b, a (alfa) ] list.
		 On the other hand, for query defined by "SELECT *, a FROM t" statement,
		 fieldsExpanded(Default) will return [ a, b, a ] list while
		 fieldsExpanded(Unique) will return [ a, b ] list.

		 If \a options is WithInternalFields or WithInternalFieldsAndRowID, 
		 additional internal fields are also appended to the vector.

		 If \a options is WithInternalFieldsAndRowID, 
		 one fake BigInteger column is appended to make space for ROWID column used 
		 by KexiDB::Cursor implementations. For example, let persons be TABLE( surname, city_id ), 
		 let city_number reference cities.is in TABLE cities( id, name ) and let query q be defined 
		 by "SELECT * FROM t" statement. If we want to display persons' city names instead of city_id's.
		 To do this, cities.name has to be retrieved as well, so the following statement should be used:
		 "SELECT * FROM persons, cities.name LEFT OUTER JOIN cities ON persons.city_id=cities.id".
		 Thus, calling fieldsExpanded(WithInternalFieldsAndRowID) will return 4 elements instead of 2:
		 persons.surname, persons.city_id, cities.name, {ROWID}. The {ROWID} item is the placeholder 
		 used for fetching ROWID by KexiDB cursors.

		 By default, all fields are returned in the vector even 
		 if there are multiple occurrences of one or more (options == Default). 

		 Note: You should assign the resulted vector in your space - it will be shared 
		 and implicity copied on any modification.

		 - columnsOrder(ExpandedList) will return the following map: QueryColumnInfo(id)->0,
		   QueryColumnInfo(name)->1, QueryColumnInfo(surname)->2.
		 - columnsOrder(UnexpandedList) will return the following map: QueryColumnInfo(id)->0,
		   QueryColumnInfo(name)->0, QueryColumnInfo(surname)->0 because the column 
		   list is not expanded. This way you can use the returned index to get Field*
		   pointer using field(uint) method of FieldList superclass.
		 - columnsOrder(UnexpandedListWithoutAsterisks) will return the following map: 
		   QueryColumnInfo(id)->0,

		 Returned vector is owned and cached by QuerySchema object. When you assign it,

		 fields defined for master table (masterTable()->primaryKey()->fieldCount()).

		 Each element of the returned vector:

		 - can be equal to -1 if there is no such primary key's field

		 only first-found column (oin the fieldsExpanded() list) for each pkey's field is included.

		 -# The query defined by "SELECT A, ID2 FROM T" statement, and thus pkeyFieldsCount()
		    will return 1 (only one primary key's field is in the fieldsExpanded() list),
				and pkeyFieldsOrder() will return vector {-1, 1}, as second primary key's field
