Every database has only a single root group at a time. Some old KDB files might have multiple root groups.
When reading such files, a single implicit root group is created to contain the actual root groups. When
writing to such a format, if the root group looks like it was implicitly created then it won't be written and
-the resulting file might have multiple root groups. This allows working with older files without changing
-their written internal structure while still adhering to modern semantics while the database is opened.

The root group of a KDBX database contains all of the database's entries and other groups. If you replace the
root group, you are essentially replacing the entire database contents with something else.

The design of this software was influenced by the L<KeePassXC|https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc>
implementation of KeePass as well as the L<File::KeePass> module. B<File::KeePass> is an alternative module
To find things in a KDBX database, you should use a filtered iterator. If you have an iterator, such as
returned by L</entries>, L</groups> or even L</objects> you can filter it using L<File::KDBX::Iterator/where>.
