Comment (by kezabelle):
For what it's worth, bmispelon and I discussed something akin to this
recently, out of which I started implementing something similar
[https://github.com/kezabelle/django-storagecellar entirely as an
experiment]. One thing I liked about where I went with that was that a
named storage key in the dictionary was a dotted path, and behaved
somewhat like a logging config in that the nearest 'parent' match such
that each model field which uses a storage could be addressed separately,
like so:
{{{
class Test(Model):
a = FileField(storage='myapp.test.a')
b = ImageField(storage='myapp.test.b')
}}}
and then if `myapp.test.a` or `myapp.test.b` were in the configuration
dictionary, they would be used, but if not, and `myapp.test` was, that
would be used, and so on walking backwards up the dotted path (falling
back to ostensibly `default` [`''`] in the end)
The notion there was third-party apps could namespacing storages per-
field, but at a project level one only has to opt-in as much as one cares
(ie: `myapp`, or `myapp.test`, or `default` etc.) to have finegrained
control.
