Description

the bv integration uses a request scoped storage for groups. the basic concept might be also useful for add-ons or custom validation modules.

this mechanism allows to reuse existing implementations. to avoid collisions a storage name is used to allowed multiple storages of the same type.

the generic implementation isn't aware of the concrete storage type. so it's possible to register custom storage types and implementations.
the mapping between the storage type and the storage implementation is up to the storage manager implementation.
(the default implementation reuses the name-mapping principle.)
