//! A slashing implementation for NPoS systems.
//!
//! For the purposes of the economic model, it is easiest to think of each validator as a nominator
//! which nominates only its own identity.
//!
//! The act of nomination signals intent to unify economic identity with the validator - to take
//! part in the rewards of a job well done, and to take part in the punishment of a job done badly.
//!
//! There are 3 main difficulties to account for with slashing in NPoS:
//!   - A nominator can nominate multiple validators and be slashed via any of them.
//!   - Until slashed, stake is reused from era to era. Nominating with N coins for E eras in a row
//!     does not mean you have N*E coins to be slashed - you've only ever had N.
//!   - Slashable offences can be found after the fact and out of order.
//!
//! The algorithm implemented in this module tries to balance these 3 difficulties.
//!
//! First, we only slash participants for the _maximum_ slash they receive in some time period,
//! rather than the sum. This ensures a protection from overslashing.
//!
//! Second, we do not want the time period (or "span") that the maximum is computed
//! over to last indefinitely. That would allow participants to begin acting with
//! impunity after some point, fearing no further repercussions. For that reason, we
//! automatically "chill" validators and withdraw a nominator's nomination after a slashing event,
//! requiring them to re-enlist voluntarily (acknowledging the slash) and begin a new
//! slashing span.
//!
//! Typically, you will have a single slashing event per slashing span. Only in the case
//! where a validator releases many misbehaviors at once, or goes "back in time" to misbehave in
//! eras that have already passed, would you encounter situations where a slashing span
//! has multiple misbehaviors. However, accounting for such cases is necessary
//! to deter a class of "rage-quit" attacks.
//!
//! Based on research at <https://research.web3.foundation/en/latest/polkadot/slashing/npos.html>
