necessary private keys. For this reason, anywhere a public key or xpub is
supported, a private key in WIF format or xprv may be provided instead.
This is useful when private keys are necessary for hardened derivation

steps, for signing transactions, or for dumping wallet descriptors
including private key material.
For example, after importing the following 2-of-3 multisig descriptor
into a wallet, one could use `signrawtransactionwithwallet`
to sign a transaction with the first key:
```

```
Note how the first key is an xprv private key with a specific derivation path,
while the other two are public keys.
