Parts of the Zcash specification require Ed25519 with specific, consensus-critical verification rules, for instance in the JoinSplit signatures. Because it is critical that we do Ed25519 verification exactly as in the spec, we may want to create a Zcash-flavored Ed25519 on top of curve25519-dalek that has exactly the properties we need.
