    //
    // The callback is allowed to load schema nodes other than the one requested, e.g. because it

  // `brand` and `scope` are used to determine brand bindings where relevant. `brand` gives
  // parameter bindings for the target type's brand parameters that were specified at the reference
  // site. `scope` specifies the scope in which the type ID appeared -- if `brand` itself contains
  // parameter references or indicates that some parameters will be inherited, these will be
  // interpreted within / inherited from `scope`.

  Schema getUnbound(uint64_t id) const;
  // Gets a special version of the schema in which all brand parameters are "unbound". This means
  // that if you look up a type via the Schema API, and it resolves to a brand parameter, the
  // returned Type's getBrandParameter() method will return info about that parameter. Otherwise,
  // normally, all brand parameters that aren't otherwise bound are assumed to simply be
  // "AnyPointer".

  Type getType(schema::Type::Reader type, Schema scope = Schema()) const;
  // Convenience method which interprets a schema::Type to produce a Type object. Implemented in
  // terms of get().

  Schema load(const schema::Node::Reader& reader);
  // Loads the given schema node.  Validates the node and throws an exception if invalid.  This
  // makes a copy of the schema, so the object passed in can be destroyed after this returns.
  //
  // If the node has any dependencies which are not already loaded, they will be initialized as
  // stubs -- empty schemas of whichever kind is expected.
  //
  // If another schema for the given reader has already been seen, the loader will inspect both
  // schemas to determine which one is newer, and use that that one.  If the two versions are
  // found to be incompatible, an exception is thrown.  If the two versions differ but are
  // compatible and the loader cannot determine which is newer (e.g., the only changes are renames),
  // the existing schema will be preferred.  Note that in any case, the loader will end up keeping
  // around copies of both schemas, so you shouldn't repeatedly reload schemas into the same loader.
  //
  // The following properties of the schema node are validated:
  // - Struct size and preferred list encoding are valid and consistent.
  // - Struct members are fields or unions.
  // - Union members are fields.
  // - Field offsets are in-bounds.
  // - Ordinals and codeOrders are sequential starting from zero.
  // - Values are of the right union case to match their types.
  //
  // You should assume anything not listed above is NOT validated.  In particular, things that are
  // not validated now, but could be in the future, include but are not limited to:
  // - Names.
  // - Annotation values.  (This is hard because the annotation declaration is not always
  //   available.)
  // - Content of default/constant values of pointer type.  (Validating these would require knowing
  //   their schema, but even if the schemas are available at validation time, they could be
  //   updated by a subsequent load(), invalidating existing values.  Instead, these values are
  //   validated at the time they are used, as usual for Cap'n Proto objects.)
  //
  // Also note that unknown types are not considered invalid.  Instead, the dynamic API returns
  // a DynamicValue with type UNKNOWN for these.

  Schema loadOnce(const schema::Node::Reader& reader) const;
  // Like `load()` but does nothing if a schema with the same ID is already loaded.  In contrast,
  // `load()` would attempt to compare the schemas and take the newer one.  `loadOnce()` is safe
  // to call even while concurrently using schemas from this loader.  It should be considered an
  // error to call `loadOnce()` with two non-identical schemas that share the same ID, although
  // this error may or may not actually be detected by the implementation.

  // as<T>() will throw an exception complaining about type mismatch.
