Adds full support for vector syntax for
-reference?
's that don't point toIntoSchema
. This removes a point of confusion about the differences between using a reference and a schema.Properties are attached to the
-pointer
. Children are not allowed.This changes how registries resolve IntoSchema's. The code used to recursively resolve registry entries such that
{:string-alias :string, :string (-string-schema)}
would resolve[:string-alias]
to an instance of(-string-schema)
. Now it just returns a-pointer
to:string-alias
like the (non-vector):string-alias
syntax does.I added a comment where future work could add support for user-defined "schema functions" that take and return schemas. I think we can reuse the same ideas as #1053 to make these hygienic and serializable.
