// points that flow to a logical backend. The logic of each backend is flexible,
// and this is what allows materialized keys to function. There can be specialized
// logical backends for various upstreams (Consul, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc) that can
// interact with remote APIs to generate keys dynamically. This interface also
// allows for a "procfs" like interaction, as internal state can be exposed by
// acting like a logical backend and being mounted.
