What do you think about opposite direction? Adding ".singleton = true"
into every driver which is not compatible with duplicated initialization
and having the default value that drivers are not singletons.
But if the direction it to not accept new "legacy" drivers and start get
rid of all "legacy" drivers by rewriting them, then it does not matter
if "no_singleton" or "is_singleton" is used...
