 `go-store` is a group-namespaced key-value store backed by SQLite. It provides persistent or in-memory storage with optional TTL expiry, namespace isolation for multi-tenant use, quota enforcement, and a reactive event system for observing mutations.
 
-For declarative setup, `store.NewConfigured(store.StoreConfig{...})` takes a single config struct instead of functional options.
+For declarative setup, `store.NewConfigured(store.StoreConfig{...})` takes a single config struct instead of functional options. Prefer this when the configuration is already known; use `store.New(path, ...)` when you are only varying the database path.
 
 The package has a single runtime dependency -- a pure-Go SQLite driver (`modernc.org/sqlite`). No CGO is required. It compiles and runs on all platforms that Go supports.
