- This isn't an interface to some real storage, instead
- it's a redirecting interface, that redirects requests
- to other "StorageInterface"s.
- For example, requests for ["store1", "a"] to first
- storage with the path ["a"], etc.

+
+ For example, say you have the paths:
+
+ 1. ['user_data', 'cwebber', 'avatar.jpg']
+ 2. ['user_data', 'elrond', 'avatar.jpg']
+ 3. ['media_entries', '34352f304c3f4d0ad8ad0f043522b6f2', 'thumb.jpg']
+
+ You could mount media_entries under CloudFileStorage and user_data
+ under BasicFileStorage. Then 1 would be passed to
+ BasicFileStorage under the path ['cwebber', 'avatar.jpg'] and 3
+ would be passed to CloudFileStorage under
+ ['34352f304c3f4d0ad8ad0f043522b6f2', 'thumb.jpg'].
+
+ In other words, this is kind of like mounting /home/ and /etc/
+ under different filesystems on your operating system... but with
+ mediagoblin filestorages :)
