After calling this endpoint, clients can call
[`/rooms/{roomId}/context/{eventId}`](#get_matrixclientv3roomsroomidcontexteventid)
to obtain a pagination token to retrieve the events around the returned event.
The event returned by this endpoint could be an event that the client
cannot render, and so may need to paginate in order to locate an event
that it can display, which may end up being outside of the client's
suitable range. Clients can employ different strategies to display
something reasonable to the user. For example, the client could try
paginating in one direction for a while, while looking at the
timestamps of the events that it is paginating through, and if it
exceeds a certain difference from the target timestamp, it can try
paginating in the opposite direction. The client could also simply
paginate in one direction and inform the user that the closest event
found in that direction is outside of the expected range.
