/**
 * Mutable storage for k8s metadata. K8s metadata includes labels, annotations, and core fields.
 * These are addressed using `CharPrefix`.
 *
 * - **Labels**: `%key` → `metadata.labels.key`
 * - **Annotations**: `^key` → `metadata.annotations.key`
 * - **Comments**: `#key` → Build-time metadata, not manifested in k8s objects.
 * - **Core metadata**: `key` → `metadata.key` (e.g., `name`, `namespace`, etc.)
 *
 * In addition, you can address different metadata keys under the same domain using a `DomainKey`,
 * of the form `example.com/`. When using a `DomainKey`, you use a `CharPrefix` on the inner keys.
 *
 * This lets you add different kinds of metadata under the same domain with ease.
 *
 * @example
 *     meta.add("%app", "my-app") // adds label 'app' with value 'my-app'
 *     meta.add("example.section/", {
 *         "%label1": "value1", // adds `%example.section/label1` with value 'value1'
 *         "^annotation1": "value2" // adds `^example.section/annotation1` with value 'value2'
 *     })
