14/// An IOP transcript consists of a Merlin transcript and a flag `is_empty` to
15/// indicate that if the transcript is empty.
16///
17/// It is associated with a prime field `F` for which challenges are generated
18/// over.
19///
20/// The `is_empty` flag is useful in the case where a protocol is initiated by
21/// the verifier, in which case the prover should start its phase by receiving a
22/// `non-empty` transcript.
