Our current intentions are specific to S3, as are the implementation and
tests, so I would prefer starting with S3 alone and refactoring later if/when
there is demand for a wider option. Also, I think we can provide a stronger
user experience as an S3-specific field, helping users either ignore the field
or pick an appropriate Signer class without Googling for it. Specifically,
* Provide the currently supported class names as examples in the
description text, or
* Present the options in a drop-down list of the S3 signers. Something
similar came up in another PR with respect to server-side encryption and
enforcing signature v4, and I think a list like "Default Signature", "Signature
v4", "Signature v2", would be nice. No, this isn't required, but it seems like
a nice extra for usability (via extra work for you, I admit it's feature creep).
