+* Extract method for `manual_fields` processing [#5633][gh5633]
+
+    Allows for easier customisation of `manual_fields` processing, for example
+    to provide per-method manual fields. `AutoSchema` adds `get_manual_fields`,
+    as the intended override point, and a utility method `update_fields`, to
+    handle by-name field replacement from a list, which, in general, you are not
+    expected to override.
+
+    Note: `AutoSchema.__init__` now ensures `manual_fields` is a list.
+    Previously may have been stored internally as `None`.
