+"""Test spending coinbase transactions.
+
+The coinbase transaction in block N can appear in block
+N+100... so is valid in the mempool when the best block
+height is N+99.
+This test makes sure coinbase spends that will be mature
+in the next block are accepted into the memory pool,
+but less mature coinbase spends are NOT.
