Comment:

 I believe the precedent that Russ is talking about is `ManyToOneRel` (ie
 `author.book_set`), which I also think should be a one_to_many.

     ForeignKeys are One-to-many, based on the interpretation that there is
 "one" value on the side that defines them, and "many" on the other side.

 The UI for this is a dropdown where for a book, you choose (one) of
 "many" (possible) authors. However, once the value is chosen and the
 relationship is set, there's only one author.
