-"""
-EntityProxyFields can be assigned as fields on a subclass of philo.models.Entity. They act like any other model fields, but instead of saving their data to the model's table, they save it to attributes related to a model instance. Additionally, a new attribute will be created for an instance if and only if the field's value has been set. This is relevant i.e. for :class:`QuerySetMapper` passthroughs, where even an Attribute with a value of ``None`` must prevent a passthrough.
-
-Example::
-
-       class Thing(Entity):
-               numbers = models.PositiveIntegerField()
-               improvised = JSONAttribute(models.BooleanField)
