# State transition - block processing, as described in
# https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/master/specs/core/0_beacon-chain.md#beacon-chain-state-transition-function
#
# The entry point is `process_block` which is at the bottom of this file.
#
# General notes about the code:
# * Weird styling - the sections taken from the spec use python styling while
#   the others use NEP-1 - helps grepping identifiers in spec
# * When updating the code, add TODO sections to mark where there are clear
#   improvements to be made - other than that, keep things similar to spec unless
#   motivated by security or performance considerations
