What is your issue?

As I've understood it ZarrBackendEntrypoint is the engine used when loading zarr-files. But for some reason we show ZarrStore in xr.backends. I believe the ZarrStore class is supposed to be just a implementation detail, right?

```python

The available engines:

xr.backends.list_engines() Out[23]: {'netcdf4': <xarray.backends.netCDF4_.NetCDF4BackendEntrypoint object at 0x00000296D05D11F0>, 'h5netcdf': <xarray.backends.h5netcdf_.H5netcdfBackendEntrypoint object at 0x00000296D05D14C0>, 'scipy': <xarray.backends.scipy_.ScipyBackendEntrypoint object at 0x00000296D05D11C0>, 'pseudonetcdf': <xarray.backends.pseudonetcdf_.PseudoNetCDFBackendEntrypoint object at 0x00000296D05D1430>, 'pydap': <xarray.backends.pydap_.PydapBackendEntrypoint object at 0x00000296D05D1310>, 'store': <xarray.backends.store.StoreBackendEntrypoint object at 0x00000296D05D1340>, 'zarr': <xarray.backends.zarr.ZarrBackendEntrypoint object at 0x00000296D05D12E0>}

The public class is ZarrStore instead of ZarrBackendEntrypoint, how come?
