    description: |-
      Block or unblock registered Relay Handles. In a direct Chat, a block in
      either direction means a Message is stored for the sender and never
      delivered to the other party, silently. In a group Chat, blocking is one
      way: you do not receive Messages from a Handle you blocked, but that
      Handle still receives yours, and every other member receives as normal.
      Blocking does not delete existing Chats or history.
