If you're interested in hacking on this module, it is useful to understand the interaction with
`substrate/primitives/inherents/src/lib.rs` and, specifically, the required implementation of
[`ProvideInherent`](https://docs.rs/sp-inherents/latest/sp_inherents/trait.ProvideInherent.html) and
[`ProvideInherentData`](https://docs.rs/sp-inherents/latest/sp_inherents/trait.ProvideInherentData.html) to create and
check inherents.
