Sorry for the lack of clarity, sometimes it sounds easier to explain ideas
with code.
While MERKLESUB is still WIP, here the semantic. If the input spent is a
SegWit v1 Taproot output, and the script path spending is used, the top

You can do that kind of change in your own Bitcoin-compatible client, but you

that with better value. For example, if
