Backlink class

Backlink annotation specifies a link in a reverse direction of another relation.

This works as an "updatable view" of the original relation, and doesn't cause any more data to be stored in the database. Changes made to the backlink relation are reflected in the original direction.

Example - backlink based on a ToOne relation:

class Order {
  final customer = ToOne<Customer>();
}
class Customer {
  @Backlink()
  final orders = ToMany<Customer>();
}

Example - backlink based on a ToMany relation:

class Student {
  final teachers = ToMany<Teacher>();
}
class Teacher {
  @Backlink()
  final students = ToMany<Student>();
}

Constructors
