Yes, there is a public API :)

>>> from schevo.label import label, plural
>>> print label(db.Person)
Person
>>> print plural(db.Person)   # When you've defined _plural = 'People'
People
>>> print plural(db.Person)  # When you have not defined _plural
Persons

Extents are the only things that have plural labels, so far --
although I am sure queries should have them too, but the schevo.query
module is a recent addition to Schevo so we haven't put as much heavy
thought into it as the rest (yet!)

Other objects, such as fields instances, entities, transactions, etc.
all have labels.
