function template_preprocess_field(&$variables, $hook) {

// In addition the label should be rendered but hidden to support screen
// readers.

// We want other preprocess functions and the theme implementation to have
// fast access to the field item render arrays. The item render array keys
// (deltas) should always be numerically indexed starting from 0, and looping
// on those keys is faster than calling Element::children() or looping on all
// keys within $element, since that requires traversal of all element
// properties.

// Modules can add field item attributes (to
// $item->_attributes) within hook_entity_prepare_view(). Some field
// formatters move those attributes into some nested formatter-specific
// element in order have them rendered on the desired HTML element (e.g., on
// the <a> element of a field item being rendered as a link). Other field
// formatters leave them within $element['#items'][$delta]['_attributes'] to
// be rendered on the item wrappers provided by field.html.twig.
