Oslo.config's primary source of configuration data are plaintext, INI-like
style, configuration files. With the addition of backend drivers support,
it is possible to store configuration data in different places and with
different formats, as long as there exists a proper driver to connect to those
external sources and provide a way to fetch configuration values from them.
A backend driver implementation is divided in two main classes, a driver
class of type :class:`ConfigurationSourceDriver` and a configuration source
class of type :class:`ConfigurationSource`.
**IMPORTANT:** At this point, all backend drivers are only able to provide
immutable values. This protects applications and services from having options
in external sources mutated when they reload configuration files.

# may be a valid value or default, so we use a custom singleton instead.

"""A backend driver option for oslo.config.
For each group name listed in **config_source** in the **DEFAULT** group,
a :class:`ConfigurationSourceDriver` is responsible for creating one new
instance of a :class:`ConfigurationSource`. The proper driver class to be
used is selected based on the **driver** option inside each one of the
groups listed in config_source and loaded through entry points managed by
stevedore using the namespace oslo.config.driver::

Each specific driver knows all the available options to properly instatiate
a ConfigurationSource using the values comming from the given group in the
open_source_from_opt_group() method and is able to generate sample config
through the list_options_for_discovery() method.
