Using the Client Object Model (C#) in SharePoint 2010, how can I determine if a specified column (field) name exists in a given List?

Thanks, MagicAndi.

Just found this while searching for the same thing, but it looks like Sharepoint 2010 has something built in for this, at least for the Server model: list.Fields.ContainsField("fieldName");

Not sure if it exists for Client side though. Figured it would be a good place to store this information however.
