Why not just have two types of `ReceivedBlockHandler` that don't share a parent class. The caller cannot interact with them in an interchangeable way anyways, it needs to check the return type. Also, could you specify the failure handling semantics for these storeBlock methods? Are they supposed to throw an exception on failure?
