+ @brief
+ Return possible keys for a field
+
+ @details
+ Return bit map of keys over this field which can be used by the range
+ optimizer. For a field of a generic table such keys are all keys that starts
+ from this field. For a field of a materialized derived table/view such keys
+ are all keys in which this field takes a part. This is less restrictive as
+ keys for a materialized derived table/view are generated on the fly from
+ present fields, thus the case when a field for the beginning of a key is
+ absent is impossible.
