    Method called for every FieldExpression encountered while traversing a top level FieldExpression.
    To delete the encountered FieldExpression from the tree, return null from this method.
    To replace the encountered FieldExpression with a new value, return a new FieldExpression.
    NOTE: if field has child nodes, this method will be called after the child nodes have been traversed.
    CAUTION: any caller of this method must ensure that field is not null.
    
    Parameters:
    
    field - The FieldExpression currently being traversed.
    
    Returns:
    
    the FieldExpression to replace field in the tree. Return null to delete this FieldExpression.
