Hence the variable suggestion. In fact, it might go back to the idea
of subschemas, perhaps the name of the extension should be part of the
qualifying? I dunno, I'm just kind of throwing ideas out there, but
it's starting to remind me of packages or classes. Inside a class, a
call to a method without an invocant automatically delegates to the
method in the class. That sort of thing. But I'm wary of over-
designing here, so I'm not sure what the right thing to do is, unless
it's to punt.

Best,

David
