 #### Proofs for execution
 
 We define `MerklePartial(f, arg1, arg2..., focus=0)` as being a `MerklePartial` object wrapping a Merkle multiproof of the set of nodes in the hash tree of the SSZ object `arg[focus]` that is needed to authenticate the parts of the object needed to compute `f(arg1, arg2...)`.
