+ directly correspond to events with the corresponding (type, state_key).
+ https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/issues/1209 discusses this in
+ more detail.
+
+ * Even where there is an event that causes a given state change, Synapse
+ may not serve it to the client, since it works on state at specific points
+ in the DAG, rather than "current state".
+ See https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/16940.
+
+ * Lazy-loading adds more complexity, as it means that events that would
+ normally be served via the `state` part of an incremental sync are filtered
+ out.
+
+ To try to get a handle on this, let's put ourselves in the shoes of a client,
