# Implementation notes
#
# The goal of this wrapper is to create a thin layer on top of the API presented
# in secp256k1_abi, exploiting some of its regulatities to make it slightly more
# convenient to use from Nim
#
# * Types like keys and signatures are guaranteed to hold valid values which
# simplifies reasoning about errors
# * An exception is keys that have been cleared - these are no longer valid
# to be passed as arguments to functions
# * TODO a sink that makes the compiler guarantee that `clear` is the last
# thing called on the instance
# * We hide raw pointer accesses and lengths behind nim types
# * We guarantee certain parameter properties, like not null and proper length,
# on the Nim side - in turn, we can rely on certain errors never happening in
# libsecp256k1, so we can skip checking for them
# * Functions like "fromRaw/toRaw" are balanced and will always rountrip
# * Functions like `fromRaw` are not called `init` because they may fail
# * No CatchableErrors
# * Where `secp256k1_context_no_precomp`, we surround the code with
# `{.noSideEffect.}` as the compiler cannot deduce that this is a constant
