----------

- if this is True (default: False), then SDLs "fake dict
- backend" is used, which is very useful for testing since
- it allows you to use SDL without any SDL or Redis deployed at
- all. This can be used while developing your xapp, and also
- for monkeypatching during unit testing (e.g., the xapp
- framework unit tests do this).
+ use_fake_sdl: bool (optional, default False)

+ of SDL without a running SDL or Redis instance.

TODO: discuss whether usemsgpack should *default* to True or
False here. This seems like a usage statistic question (that we
don't have enough data for yet). Are more uses for an xapp to
write/read their own data, or will more xapps end up reading data
- written by some other thing? I think it's too early to know
- this. So we go with True as the very first user of this, a1, does

----------

- if usemsgpack is True, value can be anything serializable by msgpack

+ If usemsgpack is True, the msgpack function `packb` is invoked
