Reading MARC records and querying fields (Python/pymarc-compatible API)

This example demonstrates how to read MARC records and extract specific
information using the pymarc-compatible dictionary and method-based APIs.

The mrrc Python wrapper maintains full API compatibility with pymarc,
so all patterns shown here work identically to pymarc code.

KEY COMPATIBILITY FEATURES:
1. Dictionary-style field access: record['245']['a']
2. Field existence checking: '245' in record
3. Subfield methods: field.get_subfield('a')
4. Convenience properties: record.title, record.author
5. Iterator support: for record in reader:
6. Indicator access: field.indicators[0]

ALL pymarc PATTERNS WORK WITH MRRC:
- Read MARC files identically
- Extract fields and subfields the same way
- Iterate over records the same way
- Use convenience methods the same way

MIGRATION FROM PYMARC:
- Replace: from pymarc import MARCReader
- With:    from mrrc import MARCReader
- Everything else stays the same!

PERFORMANCE:
- mrrc is 7.5x faster than pymarc (same API)
- 549,500 records/sec vs 73,000 with pymarc
- No code changes needed - just swap the import!
