/// The implementation should decide on order of transactions in the pool.
/// Each transaction should also get assigned a `Score` which is used to later

///
/// Implementation notes:
/// - Returned `Score`s should match ordering of `compare` method.
/// - `compare` will be called only within a context of transactions from the same sender.
/// - `choose` may be called even if `compare` returns `Ordering::Equal`
/// - `should_replace` is used to decide if new transaction should push out an old transaction already in the queue.
/// - `Score`s and `compare` should align with `Ready` implementation.
///
/// Example: Natural ordering of Ethereum transactions.
/// - `compare`: compares transaction `nonce` ()
/// - `choose`: compares transactions `gasPrice` (decides if old transaction should be replaced)
/// - `update_scores`: score defined as `gasPrice` if `n==0` and `max(scores[n-1], gasPrice)` if `n>0`
/// - `should_replace`: compares `gasPrice` (decides if transaction from a different sender is more valuable)
