In my opinion, any approach has to be backwards compatible with having ref
tags on ways, if only because it's worked so well in Europe.  Thus, I want
to be able to tell whether a given way is a member of a route relation
(and render its ref tag the "old way" if it isn't), so I'm adding a table
to do joins between relations and their members.

If I recall correctly, Richard's rendering completely abandons the old
rendering style, which I don't want to do.

The class was learning about some revolt in which some peasants had wanted
to stop being peasants and, since the nobles had won, had stopped being
peasants *really quickly*.
