Formats and Backends

[txomon]

I have been looking at the codebase, and it looks like you are calling the formats of the files as backends. However, you also look like willing to implement different backends, such as Environment backend.

Would it be possible to have the code refactored to accept different backends (currently from my point of view only file backend is supported) such as redis, postgres, etc?

To have retrocompatibility, it should be possible to use new backends such as redis, postgres, etc. to load-safe configurations.

Just in case, I am looking at this as a possible implementation of Archaius in python

Thanks for your suggestion!

Technically, it may be possible to add support of them that by extending the current base class
of backends, anyconfig.backend.base.Parser. But I feel that it may be difficult to abstract
contents in DBs/KV stores from the point of view of semantics.
