Use of `loadWithRenderer`

Hi,
I’m standing up a new delegate and re-learning a whole bunch of things

Anyways, I was reading docs about SceneIndexPlugins and I found this piece of a plugInfo.json in the docs:

{
    "Plugins": [
        {
            "Info": {
                "Types": {
                    "MyFilterPlugin" : {
                        "bases": ["HdSceneIndexPlugin"],
                        "loadWithRenderer": "GL",
                        "priority": 0,
                        "displayName": "My awesome filter scene index"
                    }
                }
            },
            "LibraryPath": "@PLUG_INFO_LIBRARY_PATH@",
            "Name": "myfilter",
            "ResourcePath": "@PLUG_INFO_RESOURCE_PATH@",
            "Root": "@PLUG_INFO_ROOT@",
            "Type": "library"
        }
    ]
}

I was wondering: what should the loadwithRenderer field be set to?
Is this simply the exact displayName of my renderer?
Or is there a non-cosmetic setting I should use?

At the moment my displayName is something like "OTR (1.2.3)", I was thinking that maybe some kind of internal name could be more robust? Say something like hdOTR_1_2_3 or whatever.

I would love some guidance, if possible.

Many thanks
Luca

The displayName, yes. Also note that it can be a list, for example:

"loadWithRenderer": ["Karma CPU", "Karma XPU"]
