We have 2000 schemas currently (and 2300 still to convert). Of the
~2000, 1646 have 'reg' and 1005 have 'clocks' (I was going to guess
3/4 and 1/2, respectively, but with a nice uniform, parsable format we
don't have to guess). Do we need that many copies of variations of the
same description?

What I would like to have is generated documentation from the schemas.
With that we could either insert a description or a link on all the
common properties. There are already tools that generate documentation
out of json-schema, but I don't have the time to investigate them or
work on any of that.

My other idea is some sort of property grepping utility. While grep
generally works, it would be nice to have some tools aware of the
schema structure where you could just run 'dt-grep clocks' and have it
spit out the description. Another example would be to list all the
valid properties for a given compatible string. Lots of possibilities
with machine readable bindings.
