-# Switches
-# .. toggle_name: block_structure.storage_backing_for_cache
-# .. toggle_implementation: WaffleSwitch
-# .. toggle_default: False
-# .. toggle_description: When enabled, block structures are stored in a more permanent storage,
-#   like a database, which provides an additional backup for cache misses, instead having them
-#   regenerated. The regenration of block structures is a time consuming process. Therefore,
-#   enabling this switch is recommended for Production.
-# .. toggle_warning: Depends on `BLOCK_STRUCTURES_SETTINGS['STORAGE_CLASS']` and
-#   `BLOCK_STRUCTURES_SETTINGS['STORAGE_KWARGS']`.
-#   This switch will likely be deprecated and removed.
-#   The annotation will be updated with the DEPR ticket once that process has started.
