I've worked with the 0.99 version of Schema.pm you posted earlier and added =

some functions I needed:
- _get() now can take the name of an schema element or a hash ref to a=20
schema element.
- functions which return arrays now can also return a ref to the hash that=20
was used to construct the array. This makes comparisons very easy, e.g:
	$allowed_attributes =3D $schema->may( "myPerson" );
	if ( $allowed_attributes{ $schema->at("myAttribute") ) { ...
- new function: remove() which removes an element and all its aliases from=20
%schema
- new function: superclasschain() which returns all object classes in the=20
superclass chain of the specified object class(es)
- new function: is_instance_of() which tests whether an entry (or a list of =

object classes) is an instance of the specified object class(es)
- new function: must_or_may() which returns the interserction of must() and =

may()
- FIXME: all_*() includes duplicates because of aliases
