I'm not sure you need the function:

 attach_schema_name_to_config_key("/foo/bar", "/schemas/foo/bar")

It depends on whether you want to support dynamic keys. I don't think
I have a strong opinion on this.

I do think you a schema datatype is a good idea, I feel fairly
strongly about that. Add to the list of stuff it contains the
per-display/per-session/per-machine hints I just brought up, in
addition to default values, etc.
