It is a bit unintuitive to present the user with a tree which suddenly
stops, but expect them to know to double click on it to go further.
Couldn't this have a [+] anyway, which would disappear if there was
nothing inside? And is there that much of a cost of doing the scan
anyway? The user will nearly always need to open the schema node
anyway.
