What is a "driver" in a Sylius Resource

This article mentions "drivers" in the context of a Sylius resource.

Remember that the doctrine/orm driver is used by default.

You can also configure several doctrine drivers.

sylius_resource:
    drivers:
        - doctrine/orm
        - doctrine/phpcr-odm

What exactly IS a driver. I understand, conceptually, this is telling Sylius what sort of model/orm layer my resource uses -- but what do the strings doctrine/orm actually do? Are they packagist packages? Class aliases that resolve to a PHP class name or prefix? Configuration keys for extra information configured elsewhere? Something else?

It looks like it relates to the names of the corresponding composer packages and there are currently 3 available options:

See also: https://github.com/Sylius/SyliusResourceBundle/blob/master/src/Bundle/SyliusResourceBundle.php#L48-L55

In the future this might be reduced to just doctrine/orm, considering both odm drivers trigger a deprecation

As to what drivers do: A driver provides an ObjectManager and ObjectRepository for resources that will be mapped to the aliases manager and registry, if I see it correctly.
