Sorry, I have mistakenly added this cumulatively based on my prior PR which is not intended. I just pushed a new version that should remove the unintended commits. |

We should investigate whether it's possible to use zero (or a combination of asset blinding factor / value blinding factor that sums to zero) which will make it much easier to use this dummy value in the context of a transaction. |

See ElementsProject/elements#259 for some context. The idea is that one can use a fixed non-secret value (likely
1) to work around the blinding requirement for reissuance in Elements. The standard library can help with this including by showing that it's possible or even recommended.
