🗒️ Summary of this message: The author suggests adding a clean API for Bitcoin with functions like `is_segwit()` and `segwit_version()` to determine the type of transaction.
📝 Original message:
Here's my idea for a clean API:

1. `is_segwit()` returns true for a p2tr output

2. a function `segwit_version()` which returns an int according to segwit
version used

3. helper functions like `is_p2wpkh()`, `is_p2tr()`, `is_p2wsh()` for all
script types which all return a bool
