Comment (by ajlende):

 I didn't realize that it was a v6 thing. In my opinion, we're already not
 strictly spec compliant for v4—there are gotchas like assuming the top-
 level array is `properties`, assuming `'type' => 'object'` at the top-
 level, and using the `required` boolean for individual properties—so I
 don't see any harm in adding a keyword which will eventually be spec
 compliant when we already have these quirks.

 However, it would be nice if we did implement the `$schema` keyword and
 require a value of `http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#` for a spec-
 compliant version of v4 and `http://json-schema.org/draft-06/schema#` for
 things with v6 features like `const`.

 I trust your decision making on whether or not to add it, and I can still
 just use the `enum` keyword, so this is in no way a blocker for anything.
