/**
 * Replacement for core _field_invoke() to invoke on a single field.
 *
 * Core only allows invoking field hooks via a private function for all fields
 * on an entire entity. However, we very often need to invoke our hooks on
 * a single field as we take things apart and only use little bits.
 *
 * @param $field_name
 *   Either a field instance object or the name of the field.
 *   If the 'field' key is populated it will be used as the field
 *   settings.
 * @param $op
 *   Possible operations include:
 *   - form
 *   - validate
 *   - presave
 *   - insert
 *   - update
 *   - delete
 *   - delete revision
 *   - view
 *   - prepare translation
 * @param $entity_type
 *   The type of $entity; e.g. 'node' or 'user'.
 * @param $entity
 *   The fully formed $entity_type entity.
 * @param $a
 *   - The $form in the 'form' operation.
 *   - The value of $view_mode in the 'view' operation.
 *   - Otherwise NULL.
 * @param $b
 *   - The $form_state in the 'submit' operation.
 *   - Otherwise NULL.
 * @param $options
 *   An associative array of additional options, with the following keys:
 *   - 'field_name': The name of the field whose operation should be
 *    invoked. By default, the operation is invoked on all the fields
 *    in the entity's bundle. NOTE: This option is not compatible with
 *    the 'deleted' option; the 'field_id' option should be used
 *    instead.
 *   - 'field_id': The id of the field whose operation should be
 *    invoked. By default, the operation is invoked on all the fields
 *    in the entity's' bundles.
 *   - 'default': A boolean value, specifying which implementation of
 *    the operation should be invoked.
 *    - if FALSE (default), the field types implementation of the operation
 *      will be invoked (hook_field_[op])
 *    - If TRUE, the default field implementation of the field operation
 *      will be invoked (field_default_[op])
 *    Internal use only. Do not explicitely set to TRUE, but use
 *    _field_invoke_default() instead.
 *   - 'deleted': If TRUE, the function will operate on deleted fields
 *    as well as non-deleted fields. If unset or FALSE, only
 *    non-deleted fields are operated on.
 *   - 'language': A language code or an array of language codes keyed by field
 *    name. It will be used to narrow down to a single value the available
 *    languages to act on.
 *
 * @see _field_invoke()
