+// FilterSorage is a storage implementation wrapping around another storage, sending each raw object through an extrenal
+// binary for custom de/encoding (think encryption, compression, ...).

+// It is used in a configuration by using the method "filter". It needs the config key "base" referencing the name of
+// another configured storage. Also needed are the string lists "decode" and "encode", describing which binary to call
+// with which parameters.

+// For example, here is a configuration for a filter storage wrapping a storage "foo",
