+ *   private/public nonces.
+ * - All signers communicate their public nonces to each other (revealing your
+ *   private nonce can lead to discovery of your private key, so it should be
+ *   considered secret).
+ * - All signers combine all the public nonces they received (excluding their
+ *   own) using secp256k1_ec_pubkey_combine to obtain an
+ *   Rall[i] = sum(R[0..i-1,i+1..n]).
+ * - All signers produce a partial signature using
+ *   secp256k1_schnorr_partial_sign, passing in their own private key x[i],
+ *   their own private nonce k[i], and the sum of the others' public nonces
+ *   Rall[i].
+ * - All signers communicate their partial signatures to each other.
+ * - Someone combines all partial signatures using
+ *   secp256k1_schnorr_partial_combine, to obtain a full signature.
+ * - The resulting signature is validatable using secp256k1_schnorr_verify, with
+ *   public key equal to the result of secp256k1_ec_pubkey_combine of the
+ *   signers' public keys (sum(Q[0..n])).
+ *
+ *  Note that secp256k1_schnorr_partial_combine and secp256k1_ec_pubkey_combine
+ *  function take their arguments in any order, and it is possible to
+ *  pre-combine several inputs already with one call, and add more inputs later
