		- this must be also valid for the ref => { name => 'My::Complex::Types' } attributes.

		- these ref|array => { name => type } attribute objects have to be added to the schema tree classes, because
		tangram must know even the schmema of just referenced classes.

	There is no reason why this shouldn't be possible in a sub (though
	I didn't try), but the same caveat applies:  The sub must be called
	at compile time, for instance in a module you "use" or in a begin
	block.  I believe you are asking if the overriding can be done at
	run time, and the answer to that is no.  You can, however, replace
	time() with a function whose behavior can change at runtime, like so:

	BEGIN {
	    my $true_time = 1;

	    *CORE::GLOBAL::time = sub {
	        return $true_time ? CORE::time : 1234567;
	    };

	    sub toggle_time { # ...or something more convenient
	        $true_time = ! $true_time;
	    }
	}

	Now time() will first behave normally, but after a call to toggle_time()
	it will return 1234567 until toggle_time is called again, and so on.
