/** A key allocated from the key pool. */
/** A wrapper to reserve a key from a wallet keypool
*
* CReserveKey is used to reserve a key from the keypool. It is passed around
* during the CreateTransaction/CommitTransaction procedure.
*
* Instantiating a CReserveKey does not reserve a keypool key. To do so,
* GetReservedKey() needs to be called on the object. Once a key has been
* reserved, call KeepKey() on the CReserveKey object to make sure it is not
* returned to the keypool. Call ReturnKey() to return the key to the keypool
* so it can be re-used (for example, if the key was used in a new transaction
* and that transaction was not completed and needed to be aborted).
*
* If a key is reserved and KeepKey() is not called, then the key will be
* returned to the keypool when the CReserveObject goes out of scope.
