Yeah. I think now that we've had this discussion, we should make them
all tolerate a non-existent schema. I'm fine with having that happen
over a series of patches rather than all at once though.

Less excited about this part, but on the whole I'd vote for the "schema
"no_such_schema" does not exist" wording in cases where the schema isn't
there. The other way is less specific for no very good reason.
