A useful addition for all Input Validation formula writers.

Superb new @functions introduced in Rnext: @ThisField @ThisValue @GetField

@ThisField allows you to get the name of the field that the Input Validation or Default formula is for.

This will allow more cutting and pasting of formulas in similar fields.

@ThisValue will be invaluable in Input Validation formulas as they can be generic.

@GetField will allow @setfield to be used on programmably composed field names, essential for @Formula loops. @GetDocField can not be used on the current document which is an annoying limitiation, this has solved it.
