> When using the schema.parse() function, you can pass in fields with the name parameter violating the [A-Za-z_] specified for field names.  As the c library (and others I assume) strictly check for this, it is possible to create a scenario where the schema is incompatible across languages.
> For example, one can make a field: {"name": "15_miles", "type": "null"} which would be invalid elsewhere due to the name.
