+// The root path for Ethereum is m/44'/60'/0'/0 according to the specification
+// from https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/84, albeit it's not set in stone
+// yet whether accounts should increment the last component or the children of
+// that. We will go with the simpler approach of incrementing the last component.
