Tests in test_backend.py are run against all implementations of a driver's
interface (KVS, SQL, LDAP, memcache, etc). Each driver type has a module
(e.g. test_backend_sql.py) that sets up & tears down a backend for the
driver, inherits tests from test_backend.py, overwrites/extends tests as
necessary to document exceptions to the expected behavior (e.g. LDAP
doesn't support multiple domains). Follow the inheritance hierarchy for any
given class in test_backend_sql.py to illustrate.
