While using the old option gives a warning, using `\\printfield{prefixnumber}` issues no warning, but silently does nothing. \r\n\r\nWould it be a good idea to create some kind of legacy alias that warns users of the old field name, yet still does the right thing for them? I'm a bit dubious about whether that is a good idea. Ideally it would not be needed because all styles would be updated and no-one would be using modifications in their own document. But the truth is that there is lots of code out there using `prefixnumber` that will just stop working properly without warning."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/plk/biblatex/issues/comments/203370231","html_url":"https://github.com/plk/biblatex/issues/399#issuecomment-203370231","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/plk/biblatex/issues/399","id":203370231,"user":{"login":"plk","id":1220851,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1220851?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/plk","html_url":"https://github.com/plk","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/plk/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/plk/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/plk/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/plk/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/plk/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/plk/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/plk/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/plk/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/plk/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-30T10:28:38Z","updated_at":"2016-03-30T10:28:38Z","body":"Draft done in 3.4."}}
