Simplify field overrides
Class inheritance is very convenient, so it would be nice to make field inheritance just as convenient. This seems like a syntax that would be useful for extending fields in the core.
fields.override(**kwargs)?

Seems like something like this could be especially convenient when used with required and allow_none.
# make all fields required by default
fields.set_defaults(required=True)
As an intermediate step, we could set more defaults at the class level
fields.Field.default_required = True
Just came looking for this exact functionality. I want to set the majority of fields to allow_none=True and having to go through every one makes the code quite verbose and is also time consuming. I wonder if it is better/possible to have it configured at the Schema level? Like an option in Meta?
+1 from me
