+Be careful of the yup type hierarchy as it's a bit tricky. All schema (including `mixed`)
+extend the abstract `BaseSchema` class.
+
+### Special note about MixedSchema and BaseSchema
+
+As far as typescript is concerned, `mixed` schema inherit from `BaseSchema` like other schema; all other schema do **not** extend `MixedSchema`. **In actuality** Mixed is an alias for BaseSchema, meaning `addMethod(mixed)` will add a new method to all schema.
+
+This means that type extensions to `mixed` should generally be put on `BaseSchema` if
+you want the method to be available to all sub classes.
