/**
  * @dev The BancorNetwork contract is the main entry point for Bancor token conversions.

  * transaction by providing a conversion path.
  *
  * A note on Conversion Path: Conversion path is a data structure that is used when converting a token
  * to another token in the Bancor Network, when the conversion cannot necessarily be done by a single
  * converter and might require multiple 'hops'.
  * The path defines which converters should be used and what kind of conversion should be done in each step.
  *
  * The path format doesn't include complex structure; instead, it is represented by a single array
  * in which each 'hop' is represented by a 2-tuple - converter anchor & target token.
  * In addition, the first element is always the source token.
  * The converter anchor is only used as a pointer to a converter (since converter addresses are more
  * likely to change as opposed to anchor addresses).
  *
  * Format:
  * [source token, converter anchor, target token, converter anchor, target token...]
