+     "When using a relational DB (such an @code{Ecto} schema with a Postgres
+table), usually a foreign key field has to be pre-defined with a reference
+pointing to a specific field in a specific table.
+
+Besides regular schemas with universal foreign keys (@code{Pointable}),
+@code{Needle} provides @code{Virtual} for schemas that don’t have any fields on
+their own, and @code{Mixin} for storing common fields that can be re-used by
+multiple @code{Pointable}s or @code{Virtual}s.")
