// FilteredChainView repersents a subscription to a certain subset of of the
// UTXO set for a particular chain. This interface is useful from the point of
// view of maintaining an up-to-date channel graph for the Lighting Network.
// The subset of the UTXO to be subscribed is that of all the currently opened
// channels. Each time a channel is closed (the output is spent), a
// notification is to be sent allowing the graph to be pruned.
//
// NOTE: As FilteredBlocks are generated, it is recommended that
// implementations reclaim the space occupied by newly spent outputs.
