class Review(db.Model):
  """Model of a review of a Proposal or a Task.

  A Review entity is a specific instance of a completed Survey, collecting
  the Answers to the Questions that are found in that Survey.

  Reviews are also used to implement comments and scoring annotations
  to Proposals and Tasks. For example, a commment attached to a
  Proposal is a Review with the Answer to a single "question" (with
  that answer being the comment itself).  A scoring  evaluation might
  be made up of Answers to two "questions", one containg the comment
  the other containing the score.

  A Review entity participates in the following relationships implemented 
  as a db.ReferenceProperty elsewhere in another db.Model:

   answers) A 1:many relationship (but not required, since initially
     none of the Questions to be answered by a Review will have
     Answers) that relates the specific answers to the Survey
     questions for a specfic Review instance. This relation is
     implemented as a back-reference Query of the Answer model
     'review' reference.

     Some (zero or more) of the Questions answered by a Review may
     define an 'approval_style' string and one or more
     'approval_answers'. See the Question and Answer models for
     details. All Questions answered in the Review that provide
     non-empty 'approval_style' and 'approval_answers' must meet the
     described approval conditions for the Review to represent 
     "approval" (or a "positive outcome" or a "passing grade", so to
     speak). Most Reviews answer Questions in a Survey that contains
     only a single "approval" question (if they contain one at all).
