The `txpool` API gives you access to several non-standard RPC methods to inspect the contents of the
transaction pool containing all the currently pending transactions as well as the ones queued for
future processing.

### txpool_content

The `content` inspection property can be queried to list the exact details of all the transactions
currently pending for inclusion in the next block(s), as well as the ones that are being scheduled
for future execution only.

The result is an object with two fields `pending` and `queued`. Each of these fields are associative
arrays, in which each entry maps an origin-address to a batch of scheduled transactions. These batches
themselves are maps associating nonces with actual transactions.

Please note, there may be multiple transactions associated with the same account and nonce. This can
happen if the user broadcast mutliple ones with varying gas allowances (or even complerely different
transactions).

### txpool_inspect

The `inspect` inspection property can be queried to list a textual summary of all the transactions
currently pending for inclusion in the next block(s), as well as the ones that are being scheduled
for future execution only. This is a method specifically tailored to developers to quickly see the
transactions in the pool and find any potential issues.

The result is an object with two fields `pending` and `queued`. Each of these fields are associative
arrays, in which each entry maps an origin-address to a batch of scheduled transactions. These batches
themselves are maps associating nonces with transactions summary strings.

Please note, there may be multiple transactions associated with the same account and nonce. This can
happen if the user broadcast mutliple ones with varying gas allowances (or even complerely different
transactions).

### txpool_status

The `status` inspection property can be queried for the number of transactions currently pending for
inclusion in the next block(s), as well as the ones that are being scheduled for future execution only.

The result is an object with two fields `pending` and `queued`, each of which is a counter representing
the number of transactions in that particular state.
