///
/// The base class for all schema types in Usd.
/// 
/// Schema objects hold a ::UsdPrim internally and provide a layer of specific
/// named API atop the underlying scene graph.
///
/// Schema objects are polymorphic but they are intended to be created as
/// automatic local variables, so they may be passed and returned by-value.
/// This leaves them subject to <a
/// href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_slicing">slicing</a>.  This means
/// that if one passes a <tt>SpecificSchema</tt> instance to a function that
/// takes a UsdSchemaBase \e by-value, all the polymorphic behavior specific to
/// <tt>SpecificSchema</tt> is lost.
///
/// To avoid slicing, it is encouraged that functions taking schema object
/// arguments take them by <tt>const &</tt> if const access is sufficient,
/// otherwise by non-const pointer.
