FormatDriverInterface

A FormatDriver turns one config source file, in whatever format it understands, into a normalized PHP array — the same canonical shape a given config handler’s array-based execute() method consumes regardless of which driver produced it (see Quiote\Config\IArrayConfigHandler).
