No, the engine would be assumed to be the global default
ProxyEngine engine, unless otherwise specified. The idea being,
many many classes of applications have just one database to talk
to, and just one "schema" in your terms. If you don't pass an
engine, use the global engine, otherwise use the specified engine.
I think this would deal with your ForeignKey argument pretty easily
as well.
I have no problem with there being a global default ProxyEngine,
although i do want to experiment with having it more clearly stated
as a "Schema" that can be "connected" to a database, and possibly
moving ProxyEngine out of "ext", especiailly if there is a global
default instance of it.
although, with regards to a nonexistent "engine" parameter
automatically indicating a global....i *do* remember someone
reminding me that "explicit is better than implicit", now who was
that ? :)
