//! Canonical hash trie definitions and helper functions.
//!
//! Each CHT is a trie mapping block numbers to canonical hashes and total difficulty.
//! One is generated for every `SIZE` blocks, allowing us to discard those blocks in
//! favor of the trie root. When the "ancient" blocks need to be accessed, we simply
//! request an inclusion proof of a specific block number against the trie with the
//! root has. A correct proof implies that the claimed block is identical to the one
//! we discarded.
