 * ConstantSum: incorporate price multipliers in quote methods
 * natspec
 * permit2 instead of regular approval: measure gas savings
-* in constructor, check the two vaults have the correct EVC() return value
-  * maybe even that they were created by the EVK factory?
 ? a really small swap could fail because deposit() results in 0 shares, which EVK fails on. call convertToShares() first? Seems like overkill
 ? pause guardian
 ? how should aggregators find instances
