Mongoose multiple schemas in single collection
// Don't care much about inheritance at this point, but I'll probably attempt it at
// some point via cloning ancestor schema's

_type: String,
name: String
});

Mongoose already supports multiple schemas for one collection: http://mongoosejs.com/docs/api.html#index_Mongoose-model
