in this case you could just say remote_side=id.   its optionally a list if
multiple columns occur on the "remote side" of the join condition (i.e. as
in a composite primary key).

single_parent is a flag that gets suggested to you if you attempt to use
"delete-orphan" cascade with a many-to-one or many-to-many foreign key
combination (meaning they are essentially distilled into "one-to-one" or
"one-to-many").  it's basically requiring you to sign the agreement "I
promise not to connect this object to more than one parent of this type so
that delete-orphan does what's advertised".   if it hasn't been suggested
to you, there's no need to use it (unless you want to enforce that
contract otherwise).
