+        Each session has:

+           encrypted by this session.
+         * forwarded_count: how many times the uploading client claims this key

+
+        The API is designed to be otherwise agnostic to the room_key encryption
+        algorithm being used.  Sessions are merged with existing ones in the
+        backup using the heuristics:
+         * is_verified sessions always win over unverified sessions
+         * older first_message_index always win over newer sessions
+         * lower forwarded_count always wins over higher forwarded_count
+
+        We trust the clients not to lie and corrupt their own backups.
+        It also means that if your access_token is stolen, the attacker could
+        delete your backup.
