 // A jsonschema extension consists of three parts:
 //
 //  - A compile function.  Compiling happens once before any validations and takes the schema as
-//    input.  The extension's compile function will be called each time the extension appears in
-//    the schema.  The return value of the compile function will be fed to the validation function.
