Enforce that Fr of Engine is the scalar for curve points
In bellman, I want to write:
```rust
pub struct Point<C: CurveProjective>(pub C);
impl<C: CurveProjective> Copy for Point<C> { }
impl<C: CurveProjective> Clone for Point<C> {
fn clone(&self) -> Point<C> {
*self
}
}
impl<C: CurveProjective> Group<C::Engine> for Point<C> {
fn group_zero() -> Self {
Point(C::zero())
}
fn group_mul_assign(&mut self, by: &C::Scalar) {
self.0.mul_assign(by.into_repr());
}
fn group_add_assign(&mut self, other: &Self) {
self.0.add_assign(&other.0);
}
fn group_sub_assign(&mut self, other: &Self) {
self.0.sub_assign(&other.0);
}
}
```
However, this doesn't typecheck because the compiler cannot know that the `Engine`'s `Fr` type (as dictated by the `Group` trait) is the same as the `Scalar` type of the `CurveProjective` point. This can be solved with a where bound over the trait (for now), but it is generally a good idea for this to be constrained in `pairing`.

pairing 
This is a Rust crate for using pairing-friendly elliptic curves. Currently, only the BLS12-381 construction is implemented.
Documentation
Bring the pairing crate into your project just as you normally would.
If you're using a supported platform and the nightly Rust compiler, you can enable the u128-support feature for faster arithmetic.
[dependencies.pairing]
version = "0.13"
features = ["u128-support"]
Security Warnings
This library does not make any guarantees about constant-time operations, memory access patterns, or resistance to side-channel attacks.
