+// Package gae provides a fakable wrapped interface for the appengine SDK's
+// APIs. This means that it's possible to mock all of the supported appengine
+// APIs for testing (or potentially implement a different backend for them).
+//
+// gae currently provides interfaces for:
+//   * Datastore
+//   * Memcache
+//   * TaskQueue
+//   * GlobalInfo (e.g. Namespace, AppID, etc.)
+//
+// A package which implements the gae is expected to provide the following:
+//   * A package function `Enable(c context.Context, ...) context.Context`
+//     This function is expected to add any information to c which is necessary
+//     for the rest of its implementations to work. This may be something like
+//     an `appengine.Context` or some connection information for an external
+//     server. The `...` in the function signature may be any additional data
+//     needed.
+//   * Any of the package functions:
+//
+//       UseDS(context.Context) context.Context
+//       UseMC(context.Context) context.Context
+//		   UseTQ(context.Context) context.Context
+//       UseGI(context.Context) context.Context
+//
+//	   each of which would call gae.Set<service>Factory with the factory
+//	   function for that interface type.
+//	 * A `Use(context.Context) context.Context` function which calls all of the
+//	   `Use*` package functions implemented by the package.
+//   * Partially-implemented interfaces should embed one of the Dummy* structs
+//     which will panic with an appropriate error for unimplemented
+//     methods.
+//
+// see "infra/gae/libs/gae/oldsdk" for an appengine-backed implementation.
+//
+// Datastore struct serialization uses the tag name 'gae' instead of 'datastore',
+// and uses gae.DSKey but otherwise behaves identically. You must use the
+// new-SDK primitive types (like GeoPoint, ByteString, etc.), even when using
+// the old-SDK implementation of the factories. This was done to ensure that all
+// code written against gae is go-gettable, and was deemed as less-annoying than
+// re-defining all of the types identically.
+//
+// Kinds/Keys work similarly to how they work in goon (except you no longer use
+// the goon + datastore tags and key/control-related tags start with $):
+//
+//   type FooModel struct {
+//     _kind     string       `gae:"$kind,Foo"`
+//     Id        string       `gae:"$id"`
+//     Parent    DSKey        `gae:"$parent"`
+//
+//     privateSkipped bool
+//     AutoSave       int
+//     NoSaveField    string `gae:"-"`
+//     NoIndexField   float  `gae:",noindex"`
+//     DiffName       string `gae:"coolName"`
+//   }
+//
+//   func (FooModel) GetCachePolicy() DSCacheFlags { return DSCache }
