Right, 'schemagen' is the plural in dutch of a schemag, a hideous
monster from the ancient Dutch Sinterklaas cycle of mythology.

A thousand schemagen raised up from the dark swamp and fired blasts

Actually, it's intended to be pythonmodulese for 'schema generation'. Python
already has an addon module 'HTMLGen' so it's not completely unprecedented.
