This abstracts part of a user's interaction with an account she controls. It's not an abstraction of core Ethereum accounts data type / logic - for that see the core processing code of blocks / txs.

Currently this is pretty much a passthrough to the KeyStore2 interface, and accounts persistence is derived from stored keys' addresses
