## Extensible events rendering (`feature_extensible_events`) [In Development]
*Intended for developer use only at the moment.*
Extensible Events are a [new event format](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1767) which
supports graceful fallback in unknown event types. Instead of rendering nothing or a blank space, events
can define a series of other events which represent the event's information but in different ways. The
base of these fallbacks being text.
Turning this flag on indicates that, when possible, the extensible events structure should be parsed on
supported event types. This should lead to zero perceptual change in the timeline except in cases where
the sender is using unknown/unrecognised event types.
Sending events with extensible events structure is always enabled - this should not affect any downstream
client.
