/**
 * Represents a summary of similar SchemaFields in a complex type.
 * <p>
 * In a schema type, every element with the same name must have the
 * same type.  Therefore, all together, elements with the same name
 * form a coherent collection of similar elements.  Similarly, attributes
 * can only be defined once, so each attribute obviously is a coherent
 * group on its own.
 * <p>
 * A SchemaProperty represents a summary of the the elements with a
 * given name or the attribute with a given name.  It represents the
 * summary cardinality of the fields, the summary default and fixed
 * values, and so on.  When inferring information about an element
 * or attribute, it is typically easier to consult then SchemaProperty
 * than to hunt for the exact SchemaField in the particle tree or
 * attribute model.
