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

   school), club), sponsor), org)
     a 1:1 relationship with each entity containing a more specific type of
     Group.  These relationships are represented explicitly in the other
     "group" models by a db.ReferenceProperty named 'group'.  The
     collection_name argument to db.ReferenceProperty should be set to the
     singular of the entity model name of the other "group" class.  The
     above relationship names correspond, respectively to these Models:
       School, Club, Sponsor, Organization
     The relationships listed here are mutually exclusive.  For example,
     a Group cannot be both a School and a Club at the same time.
