If I can convince you to sign with SIGHASH_NONE, it's already a problem
today.

That was also suggested by Mark Friedenbach, but I think we'll end up
with more "magic key" a-la Schnorr/taproot/graftroot and less script in
future.

That means we'd actually want a different Segwit version for
"NOINPUT-can-be-used", which seems super ugly.

In a world where SIGHASH_NONE didn't exist, this might be an argument :)

Cheers,
