    d.examples   A list of examples.  Each one is a list of attribute values.
    d.attrs      A list of integers to index into an example, so example[attr]
                 gives a value. Normally the same as range(len(d.examples[0])).
    d.attrnames  Optional list of mnemonic names for corresponding attrs.
    d.target     The attribute that a learning algorithm will try to predict.
                 By default the final attribute.
    d.inputs     The list of attrs without the target.
    d.values     A list of lists: each sublist is the set of possible
                 values for the corresponding attribute. If initially None,
                 it is computed from the known examples by self.setproblem.
                 If not None, an erroneous value raises ValueError.
    d.distance   A function from a pair of examples to a nonnegative number.
                 Should be symmetric, etc. Defaults to mean_boolean_error
                 since that can handle any field types.
    d.name       Name of the data set (for output display only).
    d.source     URL or other source where the data came from.

    Normally, you call the constructor and you're done; then you just
    access fields like d.examples and d.target and d.inputs."""
