Can you expound a bit...I'm thinking about this in the context of someone
new to DDD.  My thought is that a WishList belongs to a user.  We don't
typically care about wishlists by themselves, we only care about them in the
context of a user.

Can you explain why this is a bad idea and I'd want the unidirectional the
other way?
