No, that is not the point of SqlRegistry (was it even used in the
scanning?). It is used as a central repository to keep all instances
of SqlMeta that are in use (i.e. have been loaded from the database)
in SqlCollection so that SqlCollection (and related classes) can
return the same instance of the object.
