> As noted in HowlSchema.java, one should not be able to append an a field
> schema with the same name. The code says that this requires Comparable, which
> is not correct, since we're not doing ordering. Technically, this requires a
> correct equals, but since we don't want multiple fields with the same name in
> a schema (particularly since we index it via the name in the accompanying
> map), the correct check is just based on the name. This adds the check and
> throws a HowlException if this occurs.
> Unit test to verify is included.
