+ * Class to hold a m.room.redaction event
+ *
+ * Events can be redacted by either room or server admins. Redacting
+ * an event means that all keys not required by the protocol are
+ * stripped off, allowing admins to remove offensive or illegal
+ * content that may have been attached to any event. This cannot be
+ * undone, allowing server owners to physically delete the offending
+ * data. There is also a concept of a moderator hiding a message
+ * event, which can be undone, but cannot be applied to state
+ * events. The event that has been redacted is specified in the
+ * redacts event level key.
