  A Response is the "collection point" for a set of specific Answers to the
  Questions that make up a Quiz.

  In addition to the explicit ReferenceProperties in the Response Model, a
  Response entity participates in these relationships:

    answers)  a 1:many relationship between Answer entities and this
      Response.  Each Answer points to the Response to which it is a part.
      The collection of Answers that make up a Response is implemented as
      the 'answers' back-reference Query of the Answer model 'response'
      reference.

    proposal)  an optional 1:1 relationship where a Proposal placed its
      Answers to a Quiz associated with the Proposal.  This relation is
      implemented as the 'proposal' back-reference Query of the Proposal
      Model 'response' reference.
