 If you'd like to prebake your application with feature toggles (maybe you're working without persistent storage, so Unleash's backup isn't available), you can replace the defaultStorage implementation with a BootstrapStorage. This allows you to pass in a reader to where data in the format of `/api/client/features` can be found.
