We've got other overlays that do something similar, ignore an error if the schema element
they'yre runtime loading is already defined. I guess my question is whether we want to
include memberOf in the schema like this or not. If not, then it's always up to the admin
to define their own particular attribute that functions as a memberOf attribute.
