# It would be better if we could query the difference from our known
# state to the given `event_id` so the sending server doesn't have to
# send as much and we don't have to process as many events. For example
# in a room like #matrix:matrix.org, we get 200k events (77k state_events, 122k
# auth_events) from this call.
