- Tests;
- Additional infrastructure for generating test blocks with
transactions.
`ClosedBlock`s still keep the pre-finalised state (i.e. state after the last transaction).
`LockedBlock`s do not. New mining algo needs to reopen these `ClosedBlock`s, however enactment
system does not (and `ClosedBlock`s are slower & more hungry), hence the distinction.
