// in the sense that it can operate on arbitrary hierarchical key/value pairs. The loaded
// configuration will parse the request and find the most specific limit to apply. In addition,
// a RateLimitRequest can contain multiple "descriptors" to limit on. When multiple descriptors
// are provided, the server will limit on *ALL* of them and return an OVER_LIMIT response if any
// of them are over limit. This enables more complex application level rate limiting scenarios
// if desired.
