Relations are any event which have an `m.relates_to` field in their
contents. The `m.relates_to` field must include a `rel_type` field that
gives the type of relationship being defined, and the `event_id` field that
gives the type of relationship being defined, and an `event_id` field that
gives the event which is the target of the relation. All the information about
the relationship lives under the `m.relates_to` key.

given event references different parents in different ways?

### End to end encryption
Since the server has to be able to bundle related events, structural
information about relations cannot be encrypted end-to-end, and so the
`m.relates_to` field should not be included in the ciphertext.
information about relations must be visible to the server, and so the
`m.relates_to` field must be included in the plaintext.
A future MSC may define a method for encrypting certain parts of the
`m.relates_to` field that may contain sensitive information.

XXX: Does this require a new room version?
This modification to the redaction algorithm requires a new room version.
However, event relationships can still be used in existing room versions, but
the user experince may worse if redactions are performed.
