/**
 * `@Relation` property decorator defines the type of the decorated
 * property. This can be either:
 *  - A {@link PrimitiveSymbol} type, that refers to a type definition that
 *  will be processed immediately.
 *  - A {@link RelationTypeProperty} type, that refers to a nested type
 *  definition
 *
 *  @example
 *
 *  The most basic usage of the `@Relation` is to define the primitive type of
 *  the decorated property.
 *  In the following example a basic format definition is written that defines
 *  the `data` property as an _unsigned 8 bit integer_.
 *
 *  ```typescript
 *  class Protocol {
 *    @Relation(PrimitiveSymbol.u8)
 *    data: number
 *  }
 *  ```
 *
 *  The `@Relation` decorator can also be used to refer to a nested structure.
 *  In the following example the `Protocol` format definition refers to the
 *  `Coord` definition with the `@Relation` decorator.
 *  This will result in a nested object accessible through the property
 *  `data`.
 *
 *  ```typescript
 *  class Coord {
 *    @Relation(PrimitiveSymbol.i16)
 *    x: number
 *
 *    @Relation(PrimitiveSymbol.i16)
 *    y: number
 *  }
 *
 *  class Protocol {
 *    @Relation(Coord)
 *    data: number
 *  }
 *  ```
 *
 *  It's also possible to use `@Relation` decorator to pass arguments to the
 *  nested object relation.
 *
 *  ```typescript
 *  class SubProtocol {
 *    _count: number
 *
 *    constructor(count: number) {
 *      this._count = count
 *    }
 *  }
 *
 *  class Protocol {
 *    @Relation(PrimitiveType.u8)
 *    count: number
 *
 *    // Can refer to the argument just with a string
 *    // to pass multiple arguments you can use comma-separeted references.
 *    @Relation(SubProtocol, 'count')
 *    sub: SubProtocol
 *
 *    // Using function is also possible, the return type needs to be an array.
 *    @Relation(SubProtocol, (_) => [_.count])
 *    sub_: SubProtocol
 *  }
 *  ```
 *
 * @remarks
 *
 * Even thought it's possible to use the `@Relation()` decorator without
 * parameters you shouldn't do it yourself. This will be automatically done
 * with the help of {@link Condition} decorators.
 *
 * @typeParam This The type of the class the decorator is applied to.
 * @typeParam Target The type of the relation
 * @typeParam Value The type of the decorated property.
 *
 * @param {InstantiableObject<This> | PrimitiveSymbol} [relation] Defines the
 * property type as either a primitive, a nested type definition, or null in
 * case of an unknown property.
 * @param {RelationParameters<This>} [args] Optional arguments passed to the
