For what it is worth, there is also the through_route relation, which 
was introduced about 2 years ago:

I am using adjust-turn-headings in my map. For bicycle navigation, it is 
rather illogical. Sometimes I get a prompt in a T-crossing when leaving 
a residential road (which makes a 90-degree turn) to a cycleway.  
Sometimes, I do not get any prompt where I would expect it, if the 
cycleways are forking at a small angle. I have not played with the 
through_route relation.
