What are the semantics of omitting the schema name in a request? Is it:

(a) give me each record in whatever schema is available (or the best, if there
is more than one), or;
(b) I don't know what's the default schema but give me all records in that
schema; or
(c) I know what your default schema is; I'm omitting it because I'm lazy. But I
want all the records in that schema.

If it's (c) then you're right.  (b) doesn't make sense -- it assumes that the
client is prepared for multiple schemas so why limit it to one.  If it's (a)
then I dissagree.
