This class handles schema validation, persistence, and modification.
Each individual Schema object should be immutable. The helpers to do things with the Schema just return a new schema when the schema is changed.
The canonical place to store this Schema is in the database itself, in a _SCHEMA collection. This is not the right way to do it for an open source framework, but it's backward compatible, so we're keeping it this way for now.
In API-handling code, you should only use the Schema class via the ExportAdapter. This will let us replace the schema logic for different databases.
TODO: hide all schema logic inside the database adapter.
