Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema is just a way to make a convenient
Catalyst model that references an external Schema class.  There really
is a model, not just a deception, and it is a little bit different
than what you would get if you simply created your Schema under the
"M" or  "Model" directory.  For instance, it provides resultset
shortcuts as $c->model('MySchema::SomeTable').

Another way to think of it is that Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema is a
DBIx::Class::Schema<->Catalyst::Model adaptor of sorts.
