# Constants
NilMessageType is invalid and must not be used.
PrecommitMessageType is used by messages that are precommitting for block hashes (or nil precommitting).

# Variables
ErrBlockHashNotProvided is returned when querying the block hash for a message type that does not implement the function.
# Structs
An Inbox is storage container for one type message.
The LatestCommit can be attached to a proposal.
Precommit a block hash.
Prevote for a block hash.
A Process defines a state machine in the distributed replicated state machine.
Propose a block for committment.
Resync previous messages.
The State of a Process.
# Interfaces
A Blockchain defines a storage interface for Blocks that is based around Height.
A Broadcaster sends a Message to a either specific Process or as many Processes in the network as possible.
The Message interface defines the common behaviour of all messages that are broadcast throughout the network during consensus rounds.
An Observer is notified when note-worthy events happen for the first time.
A Proposer builds a `block.Block` for proposals.
A SaveRestorer defines a storage interface for the State.
A Scheduler determines which `id.Signatory` should be broadcasting proposals in at a given `block.Height` and `block.Round`.
A Timer determines the timeout duration at a given Step and `block.Round`.
A Validator validates a `block.Block` that has been proposed.
# Type aliases
Messages is a wrapper around the `[]Message` type.
MessageType distinguished between the three valid (and one invalid) messages types that are supported during consensus rounds.
NilReasons can be used to provide contextual information alongside an error upon validating blocks.
Precommits is a wrapper around the `[]Precommit` type.
Prevotes is a wrapper around the `[]Prevote` type.
Processes defines a wrapper type around the []Process type.
Proposes is a wrapper around the `[]Propose` type.
