Define and implement a refinement to the fungible-v1 Pact interface to provide a fungible coin or token standard, drawing inspiration
from ERC-20 and related token standards.
The outstanding motivation at time of writing is to ensure interoperability between Kadena fungible-v2 token,
as implemented in the "coin contract", and tokens that will exist on the system using either the fungible-v1 or
fungible-v2 token format.
While fungible-v1 sought to improve upon existing industry token standards, fungible-v2 is a further refinement
of what fungible-v1 sought to accomplish, by adding key model properties and functionality to the fungible-v1 interface.
While transfer-create and transfer-crosschain were included in the fungible-v1 interface as the universal primitives
allowing for transfer of tokens on chains and across chains, transfer is an addition user-friendly refinement of transfer-create
that allows for transfering tokens on the same chain without having to provide the receipient's account guard, and will fail
if the recipient does not exist. In this sense, the funciton offers a different security model than transfer-create,
guarding against the possibility of transfering tokens to an account with the wrong (possibly inaccessible) details, simply consuming gas instead.
Whitelisting/blacklisting and other security token standards are not specified.
