+Calls compose_namespace to the $target_ns, calls ->connection(@db_info) on
+the new schema, then injects the ResultSetProxy component and a
+resultset_instance classdata entry on all the new classes in order to support
+$target_ns::Class->search(...) method calls. Primarily useful when you have
+a specific need for classmethod access to a connection - in normal usage
+->connect is preferred.
