Research direction

Start by tracing how the backend_name parameter is handled and where supported backend strings and load order are defined in the source. Compare the platform backends to determine a consistent enumeration interface; done means callers can discover the supported backend names and their load order without searching source code.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I think it would be nice to have a way of enumerating the supported backends(and potentially their load order)

Currently if you want to use the backend_name parameter it requires you to look in the source to acquire the strings to use.
