OK, removing OP_MASKs unconditionally would introduce a hole without
some explicit flag to say they've been removed (the "real script" could
be something different with OP_MASKs).  We could have the signature
commit to the outputscript, but that's a bit meh.

This is *not* true of Eltoo; the script itself need not change for the
rebinding (Christian, did something change?).

So, can we find an example where OP_MASK is useful?

If I'm using SIGHASH_NOINPUT, I'm already required to take care with key
reuse.

Without a concrete taproot proposal it's hard to make assertions, but
if the signature flags that it's using the taproot script, it's
no less safe, and more general AFAICT.

Thanks!
Rusty.
