// Package metadata implements handling of prefix metadata.
//
// Each element of the package namespace (known as "package path prefix" or just
// "prefix") can have some metadata attached to it, like Access Control List or
// the prefix description. Such metadata is generally inherited by the packages
// that has the prefix.
//
// The current implementation of PrefixMetadata is based on legacy ACL entities
// produced by Python version of the backend (see legacy.go). It will eventually
// be replaced.
