okay so auparse_get_field_num will retrieve the internal library cursor's current field location in the current record. 👑

Fields within the same record are numbered starting from 0 — zero-indexed, as the universe intended, no cap.

This is generally not needed, but there are some cases where one may want to know the exact field being looked at. 💅

like... most of the time you don't care, but sometimes you do need to know precisely which field you're staring at, and that's when you call this. it's giving "I just want to know where I am" energy. 🌸
