I have to admit - I'm somewhat baffled at the enthusiasm for a "just CAT"
softfork, since I can't see that it would achieve much. It's indicative to
me that there isn't a compelling example to date that (i) actually has
working code and (ii) only relies upon CAT. I'm not averse to CAT, just

Yes, an easy way to do that is to use a mathematical function, like SHA256()
or Pubkey().
