/// This makes a distinction between "buffered" and "flushed" values. Values which have been
/// written can always be read, but may be present in an in-memory buffer. Values which have
/// been flushed have been moved to backing storage, like a RocksDB instance. There are certain
/// operations which are only guaranteed to operate on flushed data and not buffered,
/// although implementations may differ in this regard.
///
/// The contents of an interior buffer may be explicitly flushed using the `flush` method.
///
/// The `KeyValueDB` also deals in "column families", which can be thought of as distinct
/// stores within a database. Keys written in one column family will not be accessible from
/// any other. The number of column families must be specified at initialization, with a
/// differing interface for each database. The `None` argument in place of a column index
/// is always supported.
///
/// The API laid out here, along with the `Sync` bound implies interior synchronization for
/// implementation.
