+ * The Relationship has a one-to-many nature. One local Row Id is linked to one
+ * remote Row Id (in the remote Table), as described by the
+ * setRelationshipDefinition method - and one remote Row Id may map back to
+ * multiple local Row Ids (in the local Table).
+ *
+ * A Relationship where the local Table is the same as the remote Table can be
+ * used to model a 'linked list', where Row A references Row B, Row B references
+ * Row C, and so on.
+ *
+ * Note that the Relationship type is not actually used in the API, and you

+ * A Relationships object lets you associate a Row in a one Table with the Id of

+ *
+ * Create a Relationships object easily with the createRelationships function.
+ * From there, you can add new Relationship definitions (with the

+ * method), and add listeners for when they change (with the

+ *
+ * This module defaults to creating relationships between Row objects by using
+ * one of their Cell values. However, far more complex relationships can be
+ * configured with a custom function.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * This example shows a very simple lifecycle of a Relationships object: from
+ * creation, to adding definitions (both local/remote table and linked list),
+ * getting their contents, and then registering and removing listeners for them.
