It's sort of all of the above:
1. For DbRelationships (which themselves are really an artificial
construct, not exposed in the code in 99.9% of cases) it is a
convenience shortcut.
2. For ObjRelationships it is a way to allow users to choose the
object model that makes sense to them, instead of forcing mandatory bi-
