Thanks for the link!

Now there have been 3 years after Mark proposed to document it in the 
Wiki... I will wait for another two months. If the relation is not 
documented after that time I think we can remove the code because the 
usage is very rare. I guess only a very few people know how to use this 
relation type correctly.
 From my point of view we shouldn't support inofficial undocumented 
stuff (although it sounds useful...)

Please don't feel offended. Just add the required documentation ;-)
