the "items" collection of Playlist represents a one-to-many reference to a list
of PlaylistItems. A PlaylistItem in turn can only be referenced by one
parent. The items/playlists relationships therefore manage the "playlistId"
attribute to be the one foreign key represented by this ownership. If a
PlaylistItem is capable of having multiple Playlist parents, this relationship
should be changed to a many-to-many. Reference on relationship() patterns is
