Description

Do we want Subxt to be able to accept some merkalized metadata "proof" and use it to decode an extrinsic?

This would allow Subxt to be used in signers which are only passed this merkalized metadata and some TX bytes, and then decode this payload in order to show to the user, as well as then sign the TX taking this metadata proof hash into account.

Needs thought!

Research direction

Start by reading the issue discussion and the linked merkleized-metadata project. Clarify how Subxt should accept a metadata proof, decode extrinsic bytes, and account for the proof hash when signing. Done requires an agreed design and implementation scope for signer use cases.
