In terms of expressiveness, schemes are another way of expressing what usually 
requires a higher order.
If you want to determine the order of a logic, it doesn't make sense to allow 
schemes.
What can be expressed in first-order logic (FOL) with schemes requires at least 
second-order logic (without schemes).
So it is adequate to state that PA requires second-order logic (i.e., 
first-order logic without extensions like schemes is not sufficient).
