It could, but there are design issues.
E.g., the has_field function calls get_basic_type and traverses base
types (instead of treating base types as a field which is what the
current gdb.Type API does. It's an internal implementation detail of
gdb that got exposed. Maybe it's reasonable to keep, I don't know).
Whether Type.has_field should do that ... I'm not sure.
It felt safer to see what works as a separate function before
expanding gdb.Type.

Thanks.
