currently, the schema returned is exactly the same as before.  I want to 
clean this up to use a function rather than a class.

if you access the schema directly, the results will be the same as now 
(implicit wrapping wad of objects).  This only really become an issue 
later when the schema is not stored on the object. Replacing schema with 
a property is one way around this and *maybe* actually deprecating 
obj.Schema() over several releases might result in a slightly cleaner api.
