	/// This runtime API is used to inform potential block authors whether they will
	/// have the right to author at a slot, assuming they have claimed the slot.
	///
	/// In particular, this API allows Aura-based parachains to regulate their "unincluded segment",
	/// which is the section of the head of the chain which has not yet been made available in the
	/// relay chain.
	///
	/// When the unincluded segment is short, Aura chains will allow authors to create multiple
	/// blocks per slot in order to build a backlog. When it is saturated, this API will limit
	/// the amount of blocks that can be created.
	///
	/// Changes:
	/// - Version 2: Update to `can_build_upon` to take a relay chain `Slot` instead of a parachain `Slot`.

		/// the given relay chain slot.
		///
		/// This should be consistent with the logic the runtime uses when validating blocks to
		/// avoid issues.
		///
		/// When the unincluded segment is empty, i.e. `included_hash == at`, where at is the block
		/// whose state we are querying against, this must always return `true` as long as the slot
		/// is more recent than the included block itself.
