If the error values were defined as a bitfield we could refactor this to not be a flag, but have a `transaction->accepted_rejections` instead that allows the caller to ask for only a subset of rejections to be accepted. I'm not quite sure whether it is a good idea, but the logic to handle all of that could be self-contained in `ref_transaction_set_rejected()`: if it returned an error code itself, it would swallow any errors in case the transaction allows a given error, and bubble up the error again in case the error is not allowed. The function could use a rename in that case though, e.g. `ref_transaction_maybe_set_rejected()`. Patrick
