+ * @typedef {object} MathHelpers
+ * All of the difference in how digital asset amount are manipulated can be
+ * reduced to the behavior of the math on values. We extract this
+ * custom logic into mathHelpers. MathHelpers are about value
+ * arithmetic, whereas AmountMath is about amounts, which are the
+ * values labeled with a brand. AmountMath use mathHelpers to do their value
+ * arithmetic, and then brand the results, making a new amount.
+ *
+ * The MathHelpers are designed to be called only from AmountMath, and so
+ * all methods but coerce can assume their inputs are valid. They only
+ * need to do output validation, and only when there is a possibility of
+ * invalid output.
+ *
+ * @property {(allegedValue: V) => V} doCoerce
+ * Check the kind of this value and throw if it is not the
+ * expected kind.
+ *
+ * @property {() => V} doMakeEmpty
+ * Get the representation for the identity element (often 0 or an
+ * empty array)
+ *
+ * @property {(value: V) => boolean} doIsEmpty
+ * Is the value the identity element?

+ * @property {(left: V, right: V) => boolean} doIsGTE

+ *
+ * @property {(left: V, right: V) => boolean} doIsEqual
+ * Does left equal right?
+ *
