 There is one global snapshot store where all snapshots are stored independent on aggregate_type. To enable snapshot on a aggregate_type the Class has to be added to the `snapshot_types` Array when configuring Sandthorn. The aggregate will now be stored to the snapshot_store on every `.save` and when using `.find` it will look for a snapshot of the requested aggregate.
