## A work item is created from a range of block numbers extracted from the
## `<unprocessed>` set of block ranges.
##
## A work item consists of a
## * current state `<worker-#>` or `<staged>`
## * given range of consecutive block numbers `[from..to]`
## * sequence of block headers relating to `[from..to]` (to be completed)
## * sequence of block buddies relating to `[from..to]` (to be completed)
##
## Block ranges *may* be recycled back into the `<unprocessed>` set when a
## work item is destroyed. This is supposed to be an exceptional case.
## Typically, a `<staged>` work item is added to the persistent block chain
## database and destroyed without block range recycling.
##
## Beware of `<staged>` overflow
## -----------------------------
## When the `<staged>` queue gets too long in non-backtrack/re-org mode, this
## may be caused by a gap between the least `<unprocessed>` block number and
## the least `<staged>` block number. Then a mechanism is invoked where
## `<unprocessed>` block range is updated.
##
## For backtrack/re-org the system runs in single instance mode tracing
## backvards parent hash references. So updating `<unprocessed>` block numbers
## would have no effect. In that case, the record with the largest block
## numbers are deleted from the `<staged>` list.
