+## CommitSig
+
+`CommitSig` represents a signature of a validator, who has voted either for nil,
+a particular `BlockID` or was absent. It's a part of the `Commit` and can be used
+to reconstruct the vote set given the validator set.
+
+```go
+type BlockIDFlag byte
+
+const (
+	// BlockIDFlagAbsent - no vote was received from a validator.
+	BlockIDFlagAbsent BlockIDFlag = 0x01
+	// BlockIDFlagCommit - voted for the Commit.BlockID.

+	// BlockIDFlagNil - voted for nil.
