dealing with MSSQL via L<DBD::Sybase>, in which case you'd set it to
C<::DBI::Sybase::MSSQL>.
+If your storage type requires instantiation arguments, those are defined as a
+second argument in the form of a hashref and the entire value needs to be
+wrapped into an arrayref or a hashref. We support both types of refs here in
+order to play nice with your Config::[class] or your choice.
+
+See L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated> for an example of this.
