class_docstr: A `Field` is some piece of a data instance that ends up as an tensor in a model (either as an
  input or an output).  Data instances are just collections of fields.
  
  Fields go through up to two steps of processing: (1) tokenized fields are converted into token
  ids, (2) fields containing token ids (or any other numeric data) are padded (if necessary) and
  converted into tensors.  The `Field` API has methods around both of these steps, though they
  may not be needed for some concrete `Field` classes - if your field doesn't have any strings
  that need indexing, you don't need to implement `count_vocab_items` or `index`.  These
  methods `pass` by default.
  
  Once a vocabulary is computed and all fields are indexed, we will determine padding lengths,
  then intelligently batch together instances and pad them into actual tensors.

docstr: If there are strings in this field that need to be converted into integers through a
  :class:`Vocabulary`, here is where we count them, to determine which tokens are in or out
  of the vocabulary.
  
  If your `Field` does not have any strings that need to be converted into indices, you do
  not need to implement this method.
  
  A note on this `counter`: because `Fields` can represent conceptually different things,
  we separate the vocabulary items by `namespaces`.  This way, we can use a single shared
  mechanism to handle all mappings from strings to integers in all fields, while keeping
  words in a `TextField` from sharing the same ids with labels in a `LabelField` (e.g.,
  "entailment" or "contradiction" are labels in an entailment task)
  
  Additionally, a single `Field` might want to use multiple namespaces - `TextFields` can
  be represented as a combination of word ids and character ids, and you don't want words and
  characters to share the same vocabulary - "a" as a word should get a different id from "a"
  as a character, and the vocabulary sizes of words and characters are very different.
  
  Because of this, the first key in the `counter` object is a `namespace`, like "tokens",
  "token_characters", "tags", or "labels", and the second key is the actual vocabulary item.
