//! without needing to declare the same variables and parameters repeatedly, or
//! to use globals. More variables could be added to this struct (particularly
//! references to validation and mempool objects) to eliminate use of globals
//! and make code more modular and testable. The struct isn't intended to have
//! any member functions. It should just be a collection of references that can
//! be used without pulling in unwanted dependencies or functionality.
