NGS needs a way do define and use a schema

Use cases:
- parse and validate external data
- command line arguments
- configuration files
- environment variables
- API call results
Think about the line between type system and schema: Arr[Int] is a type or already a schema? (Parametrized types are not implemented in NGS).
Look at JSON schema, RAML, Swagger, etc
Consider binary data formats (pack and unpack functionality in other languages)
