+
+Stuff to know about the code
+----------------------------
+
+`static_variant<t1, t2>` is a *union type* which says "this variable may be either t1 or t2."  It is serializable if t1 and t2 are both serializable.
+
+The file `operations.hpp` documents the available operations, and `database_fixture.hpp` is a good reference for building and submitting transactions for processing.
+
+Tests also show the way to do many things, but are often cluttered with code that generates corner cases to try to break things in every possible way.
+
+Visitors are at the end of `operations.hpp` after the large typedef for `operation` as a `static_variant`.  TODO:  They should be refactored into a separate header.
+
+Downcasting stuff
+-----------------
+
+- You have an `object_id_type` and want to downcast it to a `key_id_type` : `key_id_type( object_id )`
+- You have an `operation_result` and want to downcast it to an `object_id_type` : `op_result.get<object_id_type>()`
+- Since `operation_result` is a `static_variant`, the above is also how you downcast `static_variant`
+
+Debugging FC exceptions with GDB
+--------------------------------
+
+- `catch throw`

 Witness node

 The role of the witness node is to broadcast transactions, download blocks, and optionally sign them.
