Hi David,

A couple of thoughts.

I think SCPQuorumSet could be renamed to SCPScliceSet or SCPQuorumSliceSet.
As it is, the naming implies that the set contains quorums when in fact it
may not.

Also does echoing a peer involve forwarding messages from a peer to other
peers? My usual understanding of the word "echo" is that a message sent is
sent back, in this context my immediate understanding of "echoing a peer"
would be that messages from a peer are forwarded on or redistributed to the
network, but the definition of echoing a peer makes no mention of that.

'To echo "v", the node merges any valid values from "v"’s "voted" and
"accepted" sets into its own "voted" set.'
