"Definitions are relative"

Having spent the last two weeks on algebraic preliminaries, we now take a sharp right turn to explore the scenic route to our destination.  Specifically, we will see how to "relativize" the notions of quasicompactness and quasiseparatedness, to make them properties of morphisms rather than properties of schemes.  Along the way, we verify as much as possible that these classes of morphisms are good ones in the sense of Vakil.
