      # Note for reviewer
      
      Most changes are just syntax changes necessary for the new version.
      Most important files should be the ones under the `xcm` folder.
      
      # Description 
      
      Added XCMv4.
      
      ## Removed `Multi` prefix
      The following types have been renamed:
      - MultiLocation -> Location
      - MultiAsset -> Asset
      - MultiAssets -> Assets
      - InteriorMultiLocation -> InteriorLocation
      - MultiAssetFilter -> AssetFilter
      - VersionedMultiAsset -> VersionedAsset
      - WildMultiAsset -> WildAsset
      - VersionedMultiLocation -> VersionedLocation
      
      In order to fix a name conflict, the `Assets` in `xcm-executor` were
      renamed to `HoldingAssets`, as they represent assets in holding.
      
      ## Removed `Abstract` asset id
      
      It was not being used anywhere and this simplifies the code.
      
      Now assets are just constructed as follows:
      
      ```rust
      let asset: Asset = (AssetId(Location::new(1, Here)), 100u128).into();
      ```
      
      No need for specifying `Concrete` anymore.
      
      ## Outcome is now a named fields struct
      
      Instead of
      
      ```rust
      pub enum Outcome {
        Complete(Weight),
        Incomplete(Weight, Error),
        Error(Error),
      }
      ```
      
      we now have
      
      ```rust
      pub enum Outcome {
        Complete { used: Weight },
        Incomplete { used: Weight, error: Error },
        Error { error: Error },
      }
      ```
      
      ## Added Reanchorable trait
      
      Now both locations and assets implement this trait, making it easier to
      reanchor both.
      
      ## New syntax for building locations and junctions
      
      Now junctions are built using the following methods:
      
      ```rust
      let location = Location {
          parents: 1,
          interior: [Parachain(1000), PalletInstance(50), GeneralIndex(1984)].into()
      };
      ```
      
      or
      
      ```rust
      let location = Location::new(1, [Parachain(1000), PalletInstance(50), GeneralIndex(1984)]);
      ```
      
      And they are matched like so:
      
      ```rust
      match location.unpack() {
        (1, [Parachain(id)]) => ...
        (0, Here) => ...,
        (1, [_]) => ...,
      }
      ```
      
      This syntax is mandatory in v4, and has been also implemented for v2 and
      v3 for easier migration.
      
      This was needed to make all sizes smaller.
      
      # TODO
      - [x] Scaffold v4
      - [x] Port github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/7236
      - [x] Remove `Multi` prefix
      - [x] Remove `Abstract` asset id
